Does anyone know any code where I can limit the lenth of usernames? I'm guessing I'll have to edit register.asp but what do I add?
I'm not very good with .asp

Just add something like this with the other error messages
if Len(Request.Form("Name")) > 10 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "User name too long, or some other message"
end if
You can change the 10 to whatever the max length is you want, and it would go in register.asp yes.
Or just set a max size value for the input box, that would be easier

Hamlin is right, but to give you more of a lead, you'll want to put this check after this line in your register.asp and then place the code after the very first else statement
if Request.QueryString("mode") <> "DoIt" then
.
.
.
else
if Len(Request.Form("Name")) > 10 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "User name too long, or some other message"
end if

I was gonna give a line number, but forgot dayve 
any way if you edit the inc_profile.asp file line 182
<INPUT maxlength="10" name="Name" size="25" value="<% =ChkString(rs("M_NAME"), "display") %>">
Add the red bit, that shold do the same thing....but with out the need for another asp check.

I find that giving Line Numbers are useless, especially because there are so many variations of everyones source code.

True but at least they have an area to look, but giving code makes it clearer I suppose.
