I have noticed on my forum that when I create a user name, for example the user's name starts with a and ends with a. But that's not the whole of it. Although I can't remember how many a's are in that user name, I know that there are enough to nearly double the width of my forum when ever I display that user name on a page.
How would I allow a user to only create a name with 13 characters or less? The same goes for the password?
Question: #2
This question is similar to Question #1. I have noticed this same effect on forum.asp when a user posts a topic which has no spaces in it such as bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.
That kind of subject line will also double the width of my forum.asp page.
Is there anyway to truncate a non-spaced subject line on forum.asp without loosing the subject line's content by forcing it to truncate with an ellipsis (...)?
There could be many variations of the subject line above.
If there is not a fix that is relatively simple, how would I just allow only 25 characters for a subject line? Would it be a similar resolve to Question #1?
