this is something annoying that i'm seeing happen to my own XOOPS sites, as well as xoops.org

when someone adds a signature to their account (or even if they don't, if they just leave it blank), 3 periods '...' are appended to whatever is stored into the database

i believe this occurs on more than just the signature field as well...

no, just the signature field, and it is a known bug.

Wrong.
Signature field and the additional information field.
If it's a known bug, why isn't there any workaround? Do you know of one? I grepped the files but didn't find the root of the problem.
It's really annoying to get "..." appended to both these fields every time you change your account (this also means that empty fields stay at least at "..." as soon you did your first edit of the profile).
This clouds a bit the impression I had of Xoops. I am expirienced with PHP, so you could just tell where I have to search. Thank you, this issue is important for me.

There is. Checkxoops@sourceforge

If You are really expirienced with PHP, I would suggest to find out how XOOPS works since you will play with it.

Thanks for the workaround.

Yes, if I had the time besides configuring all, modifing the templates and translating it for me. It's all in my spare time.
It would have taken quite a long time until I had discovered this one as it really isn't obvious. (The core team knows where to look).

Anyway nice work XOOPS devs. A very nice alternative to these other buggy portal systems.
