Not that it troubles me, I don't understand the reasoning for some having more characters to play with than others - any sequence of characters wii take the same space regardless of who enters it. One thing's for sure though, the volunteers can not have coded the system to work that way.

I am not sure that there is any reasoning for this. From what I was given to understand - it was just something that happened. When the difference was discovered - it just remained. When a request was made for this disparity to be addressed - it still just remains

Would it cause great technical problems to the running of the site - to provide the increased number of characters available in the thread title creation box - to all contributors and not just those trusted with edit buttons?
