title length of forum topics

The forum overview on the homepage (the 5 recent posts) cuts the topic titles, which makes sense for layout reasons. But while you can see the topic titles in full length on the (actual) geeklog forum, on my forum, they have the same length as in the recent posts block , which doesn't look nice with all the space available. Now how can I prevent the topic titles from being shortened?

Hey cool, thank you (how could I overlook this?)
But there's no way to change the title length of the 5 recent posts, right? It's not that important, I'm just curious.

Your are referring to the centerblock I think. This is a config option in the code for the block. Look in plugins/forum/functions.inc for the plugins_centerblock_forum function and change the setting for subject_limit.
Text Formatted Code
function plugin_centerblock_forum($where=1,$page=1,$topic ='') {
global $_CONF, $_USER, $_TABLES, $LANG_GF01, $LANG_GF02, $mode, $order, $PHP_SELF;
$post_limit="7"; // How many posts you want displayed
$subject_limit="30"; // The length of characters of the subject you want displayed
$pi_name = 'forum'; // Plugin name
$img_dir = $_CONF['layout_url'] . "/forum/image_set";
$retval = '';
