Trim Forum Thread Titles with "..." if over 47 characters

when users post a thread and the title is too long, I want to show in the list of threads "..." at the end of the title, if the title is too long.

 

Example forum thread list:

This is an example thread fun!

This is an example forum thread title...

Today something happened in the n...

I fell off my chair laughing

Aliens invaded from mars and there...

 

there are 2 locations I want to trim the titles: RSS for the homepage block and in the forum thread view page title bar.

I know currently it trims them at 50 characters but I cannot find where in the code it is doing this.

What would be good is to trim it at 47 characters and add "..." if the title is over 50 characters.

 

Can someone tell me which file to edit?

thank you
