Short, concise description of the idea
Entries shown via RSS feeds currently have their subjects truncated at 100 characters/255 bytes, whichever occurs first. This limit should be raised.

I don't see this affecting a lot of RSS feeds, but I don't see how it could cause harm. Sure, why not?

Based on what I was told by LJ support this also affects regular journal and community entries, not just RSS.

Granted long subjects are not the norm, so this is a low priority request :-)

I'd love longer subject lines for regular posts, too.

It could break a number of layouts designed knowing that limitation is in place.

If it's possible, why not?

This also affects another other feeds, I have seen it in action!

Sure, I'd be up for it.

I have to admit to pouting when this interferes with my daily T-Rex lovin'. I've also had a couple subjects, normally quotes, that I haven't been able to use in my own journal because of this. Change would be nice.

While we're at it...dude, some song titles are long! :P Some extra length there would be nice, too.
