Character limit on me (but not others)?

[SeahawksXLVIII]

I posted a topic in the Firefox board and I ran out of characters after the words "corrupted settings" and it would not let my type anymore. However after posting it, I find other topics with 8 or more characters that stretch out longer than mine done. Why do I have a less character limit and can that be fixed?

Where are you seeing a character limit on these forums? In the subject line, in the reply entry field?

After I typed my topic in Firefox support, in the subject line, I typed "Firefox sync problem (partially syncing, corruted settings)" I could not add "etc." to make it "Firefox sync problem (partially syncing, corrupted settings etc.)" because no more characters would type because it ended there. If I typed them on the keyboard they would not show up like if it hit a wall and would not accept any more characters. After posting it, I see that other people's posts extend at least 8 characters beyond where it stopped typing for me

(Well it's expected that post subject has a limit of 60 characters...)

[SeahawksXLVIII]

then why do others' posts extend further right than my topped out 60 characters?

Where? Provide links.

Since we have been around with this forum software since November 2002 it could easily be that phpBB didn't have a limit many moons ago. That said, the sixty character limit is a hard one now-a-days.
