    Drives field on profile?

    Any reason for MIG to be so stingy with the number of characters allowed?

    I can no longer fit anything meaningful into the box its just to short!

    Hi - sorry, but there is a good reason for this. If you have too many characters, it causes a line break and screws up the alignment and ends up looking really bad.

    However, I will look into a way that avoids this issue and update if I can.

    Ok - just figured it out - you can now have 25 characters instead of 15.

    Not that this bothered me before, but I don't see how this is better now? Everyone's identity/info section on this page is as wide as Mike's now as he has the longest drives field.

    - You could sell the space to the right of my info for adverts (I'm kidding Mike)
    Sandwiches and laminated printouts!? You widnae get this at AVA...

    I agree, it's stretched it out now and looks worse!

    I'll change it back then I'll try and come up with something else then.

    I only have a long "Drives" as I was testing out the space available.
