Hi. This isn’t really a bug (or a problem, really), and I don’t see any other categories which make sense to me. So I’d appreciate it if someone can tell me where to put it. Thank you.
You can get past the character limit of titles by using zero width spaces ().
This means that you can use something like “q wer” as a title, and it would work because it’s technically 18 characters.
Here’s an example:
(
@JonnyGamer ’s Topic. I made one a few weeks ago, but changed the title)
EDIT: You can also do a similar thing with replies. I did that in this topic.
Sorry if I shouldn’t have made this topic.

This really isn’t a bug, people will always find ways of getting around these type of requirements, it is up to moderators/admins to then correct this behavior and establish it as not wanted.

I actually think we should check for this one @techapj as part of our standard title health checks, because a “blank” topic title is quite grief-y.

Idk this just seems interesting:
Should I add more things you can do with the zero width, or no. I just discovered a few things
Don’t really care, if people do that we will suspend them.
Titles I am more worried about since titles are quite important to a discussion…
