possible to change length of subject title before ellipsis cuts it off?

Because of the existing styling of our community, it would be easiest for me to deal with a particular issue by telling Lithium to apply the ellipsis to lengthy subject titles at a shorter character ...

jmurray - if you want to do it with Freemarker you can use substring function to shorten the length of the subject.  However if you trying to do this with CSS of JS, you might need to use any unique ID or Class to restrict it for your custom component. This will not change the value of whole page as you have mentioned. 

 

 

e.g

.unique-class .lia-message-read {
//your css here
}

    Thanks TariqHussain. I'll take a look. Any chance you could tell me where to find this line?

    .unique-class .lia-message-read {}
