Member title character limit

[Troy1101]

So when using the SQL toolbox to make titles with html I find there is around a 64 letter limit on these titles and that really isn't enough to do anything special with html I've looked around for quite a bit and sorry if I missed this but could anyone help me figure this one out? IPBOARD 3.4.7 btw

I had the same issue a while back and made a support thread for it as well (which can be seen here), but the answer in there isn't very clear if you don't know what you're doing, so I'll tell you the steps.

If you have access to PHPMyAdmin for your site, open it up, click on your database, finds the "members" table, and then click the Structures button at the top toolbar.
Look for the title table and click on the change button (screenshot). After that, you'll see this. Change "64" to whatever number you want (a suggested amount would be 300). Save the changes and you're done!

If you want an even easier way, here's the SQL you can run in the SQL Toolbox page instead of going through and changing it in PHPMyAdmin:

ALTER TABLE `members` CHANGE `title` `title` VARCHAR(300);

P.S. - You should check out this hook:

It lets you edit a member's HTML member title via their account in the ACP, so you don't have to run an SQL query each time.
Hope this helps!
