	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

Member Since: January 2008 Posts: 443 Send Message	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?
