i solved.  
forum_group.php in source\module\forum

find this (line 281)

1.         $name = censor(addslashes(dhtmlspecialchars(cutstr(stripslashes(trim($_G['gp_name'])), 20, ''))));
   

Copy the Code

this

1.         $name = censor(addslashes(dhtmlspecialchars(cutstr(stripslashes(trim($_G['gp_name'])), whatever number you want, ''))));
   

Copy the Code

and
line 368 in the same way 20 to what do you want

at last
find

1. $typenumlimit = 20;

Copy the Code

and change like the others

About the length limit:
The group (forum) name field is 255 bytes of length (only in X2ML!).
So the max length must be limited to 255 bytes.
But for UTF-8 encoding every character can consist of up to 6 bytes! (average ~ 3 bytes).
So it is reasonable to limit the max name length to 80 characters.

at last
find
    $typenumlimit = 20;
and change like the others

This is wrong!!!
It is NOT a length at all.
It is a number of thread types in the forum.

About the current cutting name algorithm.
I think, the algorihm is very bad:

1. $name = censor(addslashes(dhtmlspecialchars(cutstr(stripslashes(trim($_G['gp_name'])), 20, ''))));

Copy the Code

The name is just stupidly cutted without any warnings.
It would be nice to NOT cut, but warn about very long name!

Moreover, there exists more group name length checks!
I.e. in module/forum/forum_ajax.php, line 140:

1.         $tmpname = cutstr($groupname, 20, '');
   

Copy the Code

Moreover, it would be nice to limit a group name in a template,
i.e. like this:

1. <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="px" maxsize="80" ...

Copy the Code

My complex solution:
1) Auto-cutting of group name removed
2) Length check algorithm modified
3) Ajax Length check algorithm modified
4) Added maxlength in templates
5) Group Name length limit is set to 2...80 characters and not more than 255 bytes.
6) The meaning of 'group_name_oversize' key in lang_message.php changed:

1. 'group_name_oversize' => 'Group name length must be in range of 2 ~ 80 characters.',

Copy the Code

This new meaning must be applied to ALL the languages!!!
