We are still getting a lot of 'questions' where the 'enter further question details here...' box hasn't been filled in. It seems to happen mainly in Crosswords. Some examples here:

In some cases it's because the poster has tried to put a lot of info in the Title box (and not all of it may appear when it's submitted) and then is not sure what the other box is for.
In other cases the title box contains one word which means nothing on its own (maybe one word from a crossword clue) and for some reason the poster doesn't /can't fill in the question box.
To overcome this, is it possible, Ed, to do the following:
1) limit the title box to say 30 characters so posters know that it's only intended for giving a short title
2) Make it compulsory for posters to put something in the Question Details box. The submit button should stay greyed out until something has been typed in the box. (This is what happens already with replies and I thought it used to happen with questions too until a month or so ago).
Would that work/help?
