Is there a way with Drupal 5.1 to limit the maximum length of the node title? it seems to be set to 128 chars. Can this be changed this to a lesser number? The reason being that long node titles seem to mess up my sites formatting.

thanks,

ZH.

you should be using Drupal 5.2, 5.1 has some security issues that were corrected with the release of Drupal 5.2

with regards to your question, had you taken the time to use the search tool with the keywords "title length" see: http://drupal.org/search/node/title+length

you would have found this thread : http://drupal.org/node/162401

which would have lead you to this module for Drupal 5.x see: http://drupal.org/project/maxlength

Thanks, yes I just did upgrade to 5.2 per your recommendation. With regards to using the search tool to find help; I did try that but found that the search function is far too slow to really be useful and even when it find things, much of it is from threads that are old and obsolete. It's even really slow when scanning through the threads of interest so I kind of gave up. Actually the whole drupal.org site seems very slow overall.

you can also search drupal.org via google. This will be especially important now that the search module on drupal.org has been temporarily disabled per this news thread: http://drupal.org/node/163216

Either way, you have what you need.
