Just upgraded a client to 2. We use email addresses as usernames and we had to make changes to the core in 1.6.8 to increase the 32 character limit. However, the files in 2 have changed and I can not find where to make these changes. They used to be in /core/core.validate.php
Any one know the process?

Welcome to the forums, cstrausser! EE 2 gives you 50 characters to work with. If that’s still not sufficient you’d have to hack ...system/expressionengine/libraries/Validate.php. Makes sense?

Yeah I know, I have done it before, but 2.0 changed and I didn’t know where the new code was.
In that file I see:
if (strlen($this->username) > 100)
{
$this->errors[] = $LANG->line('username_password_too_long');
}
But I am getting the 50 character error.

Never mind. I was looking at an old file.
