Profile MSN Users...
The MSN email address, in the profile section, seems to be a little short Wink Mine is andrew_newby_84@hotmail.com, yet it will make me unable to enter the om from the .com due to restrictions on length Frown

The MSN field is supposed to be for people using the MSN instant messager - however I have no experience with it. Any help is appreciated!

The username for MSN accounts is your email address. E.g name@hotmail.com, or name@msn.com

A decent sort of number of charachters, in my opinion, is about 40 as lots of us have long emails Wink

Is this such a hard bug to fix? I'm sure you have more improtant ones to fix, but isnt this like a 30 second job? Why not get it done soon and get it off the 'to do' list Smile

How about adding an instant messaging layer onto the forum so that we can communicate in real-time with others online.

heehee ;-)

Actually Jason if you are listening, a nice little touch would be to hyperlink AIM screen names in the profile to the following URL:

aim:goim?screenname=PaulWilson18&message=HeyHey

Obviously change PaulWilson18 for the profile screen name.

Don't you? The field should allow up to 255 characters.

Nope, not enough room. Think it may be a HTML thing as it seems to be the box limiting me. My username is andrew_newby_84@hotmail.com. The om at the end of .com does not fit still Frown
