id prefer just to put 'new photo' then describe the photo in the actual post section!
That's exactly the problem though.. if everyone posted with a topic title of just 'new photo' then you've got a big list of topics where nobody has any idea which is which!
Some people don't have time to read every new topic on this forum, so it's only fair to try and be descriptive in your topic title so that people can see what it's about before clicking.
It also makes things very confusing when you're trying to find a particular discussion again and can't because it's got a generic title!
This change has been made to ask people to be more descriptive when they post, which will benefit other members, people searching for particular advice or topics, and ultimately you - by being more descriptive you're likely to get more people reading your posts and commenting!
We'll be keeping an eye on how this goes, and if we need to fine tune the character limit we'll do that - but I think this way is better than needing to moan at everyone all the time to put a better topic title on their threads
