Consider this title: "Java is introducing jpackage: a command-line tool for creating executables from jar files" (89 characters). I can replace "creating executables from" with "packaging", and that makes it 73 characters. I can further replace "Java is" with "Java's", but I am not very fond of contractions in the title.fresh_42 said:
You have an insight article with the title "A Journey to The Manifold SU(2): Differentiation, Spheres and Fiber Bundles". In my opinion, this is not a novel, although it is 75 characters long.fresh_42 said:
I've noticed that after I create a new thread with its title, etc., that I can go back later and edit the title and make it longer. Have you tried that? Maybe give that a try to see what the maximum is for an edited title. It may be a Mentor superpower, or it may be available to everybody...Wrichik Basu said:
Nope, because I didn't know the title can be made longer if I edit it later. Just tried it in this thread, and the limit was 150 characters. Thanks a ton! Problem solved.berkeman said:
".exe files from .jar files by jpackage" Where is the problem?Wrichik Basu said:
That is title (insight) and subtitle (part 1). Transcripted to a thread it would have been title and summary.
And I think 50 would be sufficient. Also a nice round number. Babylonians might have considered 60 a nice round number. Or 32 measured in bytes. Or 36, a word. This is meanwhile hardly an argument. The rule for titles is: the shorter the good.
Problem worsened.Wrichik Basu said:
But please keep in mind that lots of long thread titles will clutter up the forum, so still try to keep the title fairly brief but very descriptive. Just as 1-2 word titles are not descriptive and may prevent folks from clicking into the thread, a long verbose title may have the same effect.Wrichik Basu said:
The maximum number of characters allowed in a thread title varies depending on the platform or website. However, a general rule of thumb is to keep the title under 100 characters to ensure it is concise and easily readable.
The limit on the number of characters in a thread title is usually set to maintain the overall appearance and readability of the platform. Too many characters in a title can make it difficult to read and may also affect the layout of the page.
It is not recommended to exceed the maximum number of characters in a thread title. Doing so may result in the title being cut off or appearing distorted on certain devices or platforms.
If you exceed the maximum number of characters in a thread title, the title may be truncated or cut off on certain devices or platforms. This can make it difficult for other users to understand the topic of the thread.
Yes, most platforms or websites have a character count feature that allows you to see the number of characters in your thread title before posting it. This can help you ensure that your title is within the allowed limit.
