No prompt when exceeding the no. of characters allowed in the post top

[galacticninja]

There seems to be no prompt that you could only type a limited number of characters in the post topic title field, and that if it goes over that, it will be cut off when posted. If there is no prompt, the topic title field should only allow a number of characters less than or equal the maximum (so the poster will know that he has hit the maximum character limit and can re-word the title, if necessary).

 

Ex: A post of mine here had its title cut off. When I was typing the title of this post, I got no prompts nor did the form stop accepting new characters when I typed over the limit: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=428218

 

What's worse is I can't edit the topic title or the topic description to make the title more fitting to a limited character field.

 

What is the maximum number of characters allowed in the topic title anyway?
