As Rose said in her post @ 21.13 on the 26 Oct

*You can only put 3 to 50 characters in the title of the post, but the post length itself is unlimited as far as I am aware. *

Which clarifies Jackies OP of *its sad but you only get 3 to 50 charectors to give enough info for you nice people out there to help me*

If you had already taken the above on board, then I apologise although it didn't 'read' as part of the exchange of views that you had.

MC - yes, you are right. However Reggie didn't appear to realise that there was a maximum character count for the title :-)

Field must be between 3 and 8000 characters long in the main body of the text/post

Never tried using lots of info in the title

DET - surely the point is that the information should be in the body of the post and not try to put it all in the title?

Try starting a thread as an experiment Reggie, with a long title. Then you'll appreciate what Jackie and Rose mean. You can always do a quick delete after you've had a go. ;-)

Spaces or punctuation also count as characters

What gives you such a strange idea?

How many characters do you think are in your post?

Also if you are talking about the post title - it should be short & precise

ie Harold Smith 1858 London

and then in the body outline what you are looking for and give more info there.

The post titles I abhor are those which give absoluletly nothing

ie Smith

or Help

I personally do not even bother to open those. :-D

Can you explain what you mean? There are more than 50 characters in your sentence above and most posts asking for help have hundreds!!

What help do you need?
