Dude, etsy should fix the title thing. Or they're going to be sorry someday when someone does it on purpose to break the heck out of the forum page.

This is an odd reason for closing. I have seen lots of too-long titles before this one. (that didn't get closed)

Why don't they just put a character limit on titles?

I think the problem is a lack of white space, there's no natural line breaking. Still, its not that hard if they just check the formating and force some line breaks or reject your title. Its not really that hard (well, in theory, I can't say what sort of garble they have running the forum).

...Or a character limit which is reaaaally easy.

Yeah, I think your right... I don't think the technology to do that would be that difficult. A long title shouldn't have the ability to break the forums.
