as you can see with this posting - a long entry in location without any space kills the layout (at least in mozilla)
is there a fix for this?
any idea how this can be prevented, except for admin-action?

You might want to re-post this in the bugs forum at Infopop, with a link to this thread.
However, I'm not sure there's an easy fix.
My solution would be to simply edit the user's profile and add spaces or whatever. If a user deliberately put a long value in the location field just to be annoying, I would use the Advanced Banning hack to remove his ability to edit his profile.
Since your profile may get edited by you or someone else before Rick et. al. see this thread, I'll clarify that this issue concerns a user placing a long string without spaces in the Location field of his basic profile, and is easy to reproduce.

I did a fix for this simply by cutting the string down to 25 characters on showflat and showthreaded. I guess it could be made smarter by counting the length of each word, but I didn't feel like doing any extra work because some people find it funny to break the layout. I have this bit of code in showflat <br /> if ($Location) {<br /> if (strlen($Location) > 25)<br /> $Location = substr($Location, 0, 22) . "...";<br /> $postrow[$i]['Location'] = "{$ubbt_lang['USER_LOC']} $Location";<br /> }<br />And this in showthreaded: <br /> if ($Location) {<br /> if (strlen($Location) > 25)<br /> $Location = substr($Location, 0, 22) . "...";<br /> $Location = "{$ubbt_lang['USER_LOC']} $Location";<br /> }<br />This should go where the variables are set in each script, I don't have a clean copy available atm, so I can't tell you exactly where. It should look something similar except for the the second if-statement and the line with substr() in it. This is for 6.1 btw, don't know if it has changed in later versions, but the basic idea should be the same at least.
