The subject line appears to be limited to 60 chars only. Can you please increase it a little bit?

PHPBB limits the subject line length exactly to 60 characters
It seems there is no way to increase this limitation in the administration panel.
And it is too complex to make it happen with a brute force.

Do we really need it?

Not really - now that I am aware about the limitation. Let it stay this way for now.
I came across it when I noticed a typo in the subject of one of my posts. It was the 61th character that I lacked to avoid that typo:). Once I tried to correct it and noticed this limitation, I just reworded the subject to fit in 60 chars.

Yeah, bad luck with this 61 character
There were a couple of times when I stumbled upon this limitation. I have had too many words in my mind for a news title.
But this limitation eventually was of help to make the title small and precise.
