Just in case you have a practical joker or two that like to place extremely long words into their locations to distort your showflat/showthreaded layouts you can do the following:

In your showflat/showthreaded php scripts find this:

Code
<br />         if ($Location) {<br />            $postrow[$i]['Location'] = "{$ubbt_lang['USER_LOC']} $Location";<br />         }<br />


to this:

Code
<br />         if ($Location) {<br />            if (strlen($Location) > 30) {<br />               $TitleText = $Location;<br />               $Location = substr($Location,0,30);<br />               $Location = "<span title=\"$TitleText\">$Location... </span>";<br />            }<br />            $postrow[$i]['Location'] = "{$ubbt_lang['USER_LOC']} $Location";<br />         }<br />



Current working example:

In showthreaded.php
Code
 	if ($Location) {<br />            if (strlen($Location) > 30) {<br />               $TitleText = $Location;<br />               $Location = substr($Location,0,30);<br />               $Location = "<span title=\"$TitleText\">$Location... </span>";<br />            }<br />>>fixed>>>     $Location = "{$ubbt_lang['USER_LOC']} $Location";<br />         }<br />
