Long nick causes problem

Involved Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 302

Hey, Rav, I've recently found a bug: when someone registers using a long nick, the left blocks lose their paging. Why? May I put a maximum number of characters in user nicks?
Tnx!

Well, is the reason because the info block that prints their name is just pushed out? If so, that's not a bug, it's a natural result of trying to squeeze 10 lbs. of stuff into a 5 lb. bag Laughing

As to limiting, yes, you could modify the Your_Account/index.php and the login block to restrict it, but if they wanted to they can still override it. But, it would stop most of it.

I may have, I don't know. I'll have to test it, or if you want to, go ahead Smile
