72 Characters Maximum Title Length

Must be more mobile friendly since 75%of the people here are on mobile

Did the 2500 character post limit change in some way Jeff? I had a post this morning that I'm sure was more like a thousand characters tops but it wouldn't post.

 

[Jeff]

don't remember but we are making posts here not writing novels

So I should limit the use of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and antidisestablishmentarianism in the future?

Word Count (With Spaces) 1,500 CHARACTERS 210-380 WORDS

Title limit is not for existing threads unless I spot one super long.
Thread titles should get to the point and be short and sweet there does not need to be 4 lines of one thread title on someones phone

OK (better?)

it just has to be mobile friendlier or we get tossed from Google search engine or ranked really low and that search engine determines your success or failure, it does make sense though

Good enough or we lose guy's attention with a long post , some folks just come on a break and bounce around the boards quick as they can ,

i am not a fan of copy and paste and it will sometimes get you a nasty gram from the person who wrote it originally.. When posting links there is supposed to be the link and a paragraph or so of the story and not the whole content

 

[Jeff]

We currently have over 101.000 thread titles here that get penalized because they are over the limit.

Why does the word "abbreviation " have that many letters in it?

What about images. I post a lot of them and usually stretch them larger, is that a problem? I'll gladly comply with what works best for TB.

I don't have a smart phone so I had no idea stuff like that is a problem for phone users.
