    I have a user trying to register on my site. They are receiving a character limit error on the length of the email address. Their email address contains 34 characters.

    Scanning these forums, I found validate_email(). This method does not appear to impose a character limit. The database table is set to accept 50 characters. I updated the registration form to accept 50 characters as well.

    Is there any other place that sets a limit?

    The username is, in fact, limited to 32 characters. See this Feature Request, too.
