As above in title, my replys are only short, not even 20 words at times, so what is happening......

RE: Subject cannot be longer than 64 characters...

It's not content but the length of title it objects to.

Some people try to put the entire question/query into the title rather than choose a concise title and expand on it in the comment box.

You have just done the same thing here. (I had to shorten your subject title to reply.)

RE: Subject cannot be longer than 64 characters

It's the 'Subject' of the reply that's giving you a problem - for example, the title of this one was 84 characters so I had to shorten it.

A trickier fix to implement than you'd imagine, but I'm sure somebody will get to it at some point...

Oh come on.  How many times are titles greater than 64 characters, and how much effort does it take to shorten them when they are?

RE: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!

In fairness, it is a major PITA if you're casually replying to something on a phone. Select near right, scroll to r, delete slowly then far too fast....

 

I'll get my coat...
