Is it possible to limit the amount of characters on members' profile?
 

This is just something that I've been wondering about. Some members has the bad habit of using a really large profile without using spaces or commas. Here is mine as an example:

Now, let's suppose that I used under distribution, something like this:

Doing that, everything will be at the same line, and wherever the member post, the thread looks ugly and harder to read, since the messages won't be in a straight line. My idea would be to limit, maybe, the amount of characters used in a row/single word, meaning if the user don't use spaces, he/she won't be able to type more then a few characters. Is it only me or does it annoy somebody else too when you see a thread with a member like that?. Maybe it's me being too peek :(

Thanks for your time reading this...

I noticed this a while ago too.

Perhaps even a couple of preg replaces to add spaces after punctuation:
preg_replace('/\,/\, /', $distro);
preg_replace('/\./\. /', $distro);

Now that you say it, I do find it ugly myself.

Ah cool! I though I was alone up there or that it was only affecting my browsers :)

Let me look into a good solution for this. Thanks.

This should be fixed. If you notice any cases where it isn't, let me know.

Hi jeremy!

Sorry to bother you again, but looks like someone could manage to find a "work around" that, take a look at this post:

it's no big deal really, this forum works great and both you and the mods are doing an amazing job, so don't worry about fixing it if it's difficult ;).

Thanks!

I just spotted another one too:

Both of those are the location field and I only applied the fix to the distro field. I'll update this as soon as I get a chance.
