You just have to keep the subject text of your thread under 80 characters, which is about.. 6-8 words?

If you reply to someone else's thread, it adds Re: which may bump it past the 80 limit. You can edit the subject line if that happens.

I think I know what hes talking about here, it just happened to me.

I replied to a thread with a long title and the little "RE:" it adds put the title over 80. Simple soultion, delete part of the title.
