The original title was supposed to be "[গাইড] কিভাবে কাস্টমাইজড বিটকয়েন এড্রেস তৈরি করবেন (ভ্যানিটিজেন) -  স্টেপ বাই স্টেপ".
But I was forced to make it shorter to "কাস্টমাইজড বিটকয়েন এড্রেস (ভ্যানিটিজেন)".

First of all, Thank you for creating this thread.
I faced this issue countless times for years but never thought I would look for a solution. I just accepted how it was and tried to adjust. I have dozens of Tutorials/Translation posts where I couldn't write the thread title. I first encountered this issue about two years ago when I first translated a topic of GazetaBitcoin. Then, I noticed the same issue in another Language. That is Russian. Ratimov also translated a topic of GazetaBitcoin, which he wasn't able to post in a single post. He had to reserve a post first to post it in two parts. But his topics are not in the forum anymore since he deleted all of them.

Anyways, A humble request to theymos, If you can lift the limit, please do it.

For English, it isn't a big deal, but for other languages like Bangla, it becomes challenging to fit the complete title in the subject box. My language and some other language takes more character space than English!

I recently translated a topic with the title: [Guide] How to create your customized Bitcoin-Address (vanitygen) – step by step .

As you can see, it's a long title. But when I translate it into Bangla and try to use it as the title, half of it gets cut off and shows random texts. This forces me to shorten the title by removing certain parts.
It can be a limitation from SMF forum software, I don't know, but it can be a limitation set up by Bitcoin Forum's admins too.

This long topic title, in my opinion, can be shortened like this.

[Guide] How to create your customized Bitcoin-Address (vanitygen) – step by step
Shortened to "[Guide] How to create your customized Bitcoin-Address (vanitygen)", or "[Guide] How to create your Bitcoin Vanitygen Address".

Additionally, theymos has his guide for Topic title.

Surely a limitation of SMF.

It could be the case. They can answer it better!

"[Guide] How to create your customized Bitcoin-Address (vanitygen)", or "[Guide] How to create your Bitcoin Vanitygen Address".

And the most funny thing is that, I can't even post the shorted version witch you just provided!
This is as far I could fit in the subject box without crossing the limit, "কাস্টমাইজড বিটকয়েন এড্রেস (ভ্যানিটিজেন)".

I'm entirely not sure whether it's possible in SMF, but I would like to request theymos and PowerGlove (those with the power) to increase the character limit/size for the subject box. I am aware, for post body it is limited to 65535 bytes / 64k character, however I don't know what's the limit for the post's subject/title.
