Hey Borg

The new forum is just brilliant and you deserve a huge amount of credit for that one.

I have a small question regarding the username field in the tblauthors table. I noticed that you've got max 15 characters in the register.asp file for the username field but in the database the field is set to max 25 characters ? Shouldn't these two match a little better ?

I thought 15 characters was a bit small for the usernames so i changed the register.asp to allow upto 25 characters

The larger amount is becuase some usernames are encoded on the way into the database for security reasons meaning that an encoded username could be larger than 15 characters.

This is the same for many fields in the database.
