I think this has been said somewhere b4 but has not been put up as a bug. I think it's a bug though.
the homepage field in the members table is only 50 char while the link1 and link2 fields are 255. Alot of my users are complaining about errors when they register or change their profile, and this has costed me some members. I've narrowed it down to the homepage field and expand it to 255. Now no more errors.
Just FYI for others developers...and hope that this will be fix in future releases.

the topics are related but talking about two different fields and things.
That one is talking about M_Photo_url which is already 255 chars in size, but is limited by the maxlength attribute in the <input> box for it.
I'm referring to M_Homepage field which is set to 50 char in size by default in database...which is different from maxlength attribute in the input box.
Just wanted to point out that this field, M_HOMEPAGE, should be set to 255 as well.
ehm, sorry guys...you're both right ofcourse...well at least the topic is relevant when the field length is changed...it shows how to change it in the database without the need of a really wide form-field...
