Addon idea: Raise limit of forum title

[JTLSoftware]

In Xenforo 2 is a limit for the lenght of the forum titles from 50 characters.

It would be great if a little addon could raise it to 100 characters.

You really don't want to mess with core specifications, it will cause no end of problems.

For XF1 there was an addon and a "hack".

Is it that difficult in XF2?
Which problems do you see?

Forum titles are used in many add-ons, it's best not to make core changes like this. Also keep in mind that a short descriptive forum title is extremely important, it allows one to easily scan the forum_view.

Ok. Thanks.

Same (or similar) hack should apply to XF2, but you are altering the table and minimum in core XF code/tables, so any update to XF will break your hack (or worse, your site) and you'll have to re-apply your hack.
