20 characters to one word in a title is not enough

In which case they might as well get rid of the check entirely.

I'll stop asking when I stop having a problem!

I do wonder if there is the same problem on the other language sites

If they got rid of the check your problem would stop at the same time. I wish eBid would leave our titles alone. What with de-capitalising, shoving in spaces, and taking out punctuation, they can make a bigger mess of them than they are trying to fix.

bump

This matters - just because few forum users have commented, doesn't mean it is trivial. I suspect that few forum users are German speaking! I don't know what other languages might yield long words.

English madelaine - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Which is split by eBid after 25 characters Supercalifragilisticexpia lidocious. I wonder what 'lidocious' means?

Let's hope no Welsh members want to use Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch in a title.

edit - even that is split by the software when replying to a post!

[madelaine]

I have personally had the Llanfair pg problem and, as the whole point of the platform ticket I am selling is that it has the whole word on it, splitting it spoils the whole point.

A Good Friday bump for this problem

A Good Friday bump for this problem

I feel that being resurrected from the dead is more likely to happen than this.

[madelaine]

As a Believer, I have faith. I can't extend that faith to eBid's management but if I don't ask I won't get.

[meebo1]

quite right. Keep asking
