Thread title limit size?

[EasyTarget]

I did a test conversion from vb3.6 to XenForo 1.04. The field size for thread titles in vb was 100 chars. In XenForo it is 50.

If I modify the XenForo database to make the field size 100 chars; am I risking future incompatibility issues?

Or is the better approach to rename the titles so they are all under 50 chars?

It should be 100.

Whoops, I meant Node title here is the

php from the library.XenForo.Install.Data.MySql.php file

$tables['xf_node'] = "
    CREATE TABLE xf_node (
        node_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
        description TEXT NOT NULL,
        node_name VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Unique column used as string ID by some node types',

Ah.

You should be able to modify it, but you will also need to change the code (datawriter) for any other instances which are set to 50 characters.
For example when a node is created.
