How do I do it? I want to change the title maxlength to more than 100 characters. Some of our articles havereally long titles, especially when in our language; it takes up a lot of character space. Please help!
Thanks.

Doesn’t seem that straightforward I am afraid, see this post: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/66247/

Thanks for the link! I managed to find my way around the EE filesytem and mySQL database. If anyone is interested, I can share the process of changing your title length.

I’m interested! please share that workaround.
# I think 100 is not enough for title because there’re multi-byte charactors in asian or other languages.
For example Movable type can keep 255 bytes for title.
