I think they announced this would be happening a few days ago. It's one of their improvements. They're also going to do an ALT Tag thing so when you pass your mouse over a title listing, it'll give more information on the Auction.

There is some value to that subtitle...

 

SOLD!

I did notice that since offering the subtitle feature, they have reduced the amount of alpha-numeric characters (I believe to 45), so its really tough now to include in your main title, the title of the comic, the issue number, the grade and any key info (ie. first appearances). By virtue of this change, they almost force all sellers to use the subtitle, because you just don't have enough room in your main title to include any pertinent info.

 

Anyone else notice this?

I didn't notice until you just pointed it out now? I can't beleive I missed that...was it 80 characters before? or is that feedback...

Joseph...I use Auctionworks and the length of title was always set at 45 a/n characters...I have recently re-lauched some old auctions that had the title length maxed out and they were accepted with no problem....
