Names too long for block?

[stevensdrum]

I had a member that maxed out the number of characters in a screen name, and it goes outside the block. I dont want to have to restrict him, it hasnt been an issue with anyone else on the forum. is there a way to make the font smaller in the user box so it fits? or am i stuck with limiting the number of characters in registration?

Thanks for any help.

One option could be for you to widen the blocks on the left site so the text fit.
If you want to try make the fonts smaller, look in the style.css and change the fontsize there.
If non of that will do the trick, i guess you have to limit the number of characters

another way you could block members from using long names its to limit the chars.

Open Profile.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

<td>', ($context['allow_edit_name'] ? '<input type="text" name="realName" size="30"

& Replace With:

Code Select Expand

<td>', ($context['allow_edit_name'] ? '<input type="text" name="realName" maxlength="30" size="30"
