Oddity with excessively long titles

[unbeliever536]

So, the new Index of the Giant's comments (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?479555-The-Index-of-the-Giant-s-Comments-V-On-a-Saner-Forum-We-Wouldn-t-Need-this-Index) was just posted. As mentioned by the curator in the post discussing the title, the chosen title was two characters short of the title length limit. This is, by all appearances, true for the thread and his first eight posts. After that, however, the title limit shrinks such that the last two characters are cut off. What's up with that?

Not a big deal, just curious.

Not a big deal, just curious.Post titles for replies are automatically prepended with "Re: ", which is four characters...which makes the title exceed the character limit by two, so the last two characters are truncated.

I manually altered the seven posts after the original post.
