No Matthew, I'm talking about the TITLE fields, which are set to be max length of 255 characters. It seems strange to me that the people behind FarCry developed an ftLimit attribute but failed to use it themselves. Maybe it is used in some places, but the places where people I work with were entering more 255 characters it isn't used at all.
