I am new here, so please pardon me if I am posting in the wrong place. I just purchased the pro version and have been working to create a form. I am trying to find how to limit characters in a form field other than the pre-set configuaration of 10, 30, 100. If this is possible, also need to know if it will automatically change the size of the field. Example, if I want a field for a person's middle initial, it should only be one character maximum, and it shouldn't be a very long field. Also, if I want a field for a Social Security number, I would prefer three separate fields of 2 three character fields and 1 two character field. Any tips on this is greatly appreciated.

Hi, you're welcome :) I'll answer your queries in turn:
Middle initial field
There isn't built-in support for capturing a person's middle initial, but I believe I could write a hack tutorial for implementing that in a basic but sufficient way. I've actually not had a request for that before, but it makes perfect sense to add so I'll consider adding it to a future version. Please contact me and I'll email you when I've written the tutorial.
Social security number
This would be rather too complicated to write up as a hack, so I have a couple of suggestions:
1) Use a 30 character single line field, and indicate the desired format in your field label (e.g. xxx-xxx-x) as people often do for date fields and such.
2) If it's essential for you, I am available to discuss doing some custom development on your installation. We could discuss your exact requirements, and I would issue you a quote based on my regular freelance rate.

Thank you for your response. I managed to figure my way through this issue and my form is complete now. I appreciate your efforts. I have another small issue. Whenever I log into the admin section, the first thing showing is an error in the top left corner of an otherwise blank page. Error on line 1
If I simply refresh the page, I get logged in no problem. If you have any ideas on this, please let me know.
Thank you

This is a known issue in version 2.0, related to the version check.
In a nutshell, I originally had a page for this application on my personal website. The version check script was pointed at a file on that site. When I built this dedicated site, I put 301 redirects in place to the URL where the version script should now point.
A small number of users have reported that their server didn't like being redirected in this way, which produced the error.
All links in the next version will be corrected for this site, but in the meantime there is a thread covering the error on line 1 message.
If you need any assistance applying the fix it describes, please contact me. I will be happy to do it for you.
