mod custom title limit problems

[Hardcoreweather]

forgive me, I do not know where to post this and the searchs have come close. . .

I have set the user custom title length to 800
though I can only get mine to 25
now I just became a mod for a forum
and was just granted the ability to custom my title

I would like to be able to use BB code in make a hyperlink title
but I cannot do that with only 25 char.

is there a differant place to change the title length for mods?
users on the board have titles over 25, but cannot custom their own
all masks are on. . and I am at a loss due to my limited access
I have been asked to do the reserch for the board

if anyone can help me to relay the info, I would much appriciate it
thank you
