   Hi 
Just as I was posting something there earlier, it occurred to me that the topic length you are allow to post is very short.  Would it be possible to lengthen it somewhat??  I know we have to try to cater for all monitor types but even on the 17" flat panel I am typing this on (@ 1280 x 960 resolution which is not outrageous) the summary page has a lot of wasted space in the "last post" field when its maximized.
So this topic (not unreasonably long I think)
 BMW International Drivers Training @ Nurburgring 14th August - 16th August
had to be shortened to
BMW DriverTraining- Nurburgring 14-16 Aug
Ok its not a major issue but any chance of doing something with this?
Mick

	I wasn't sure what you meant initially and was wondering as there si no limit really on the length of a post. You were of course referring to the title of the thread. The subject box in the form seems to be limited to a max of 41 characters. The database column allows up to 70 characters so I will up it to this. To change this will not be big but I want to test it before I do it for definite. K.

	Killian I tried a couple of times to post a message with as long a title as possible and it kept crapping out on me. Don't know if this is related to the change you have made or just html gremlins at work. Mick
