':' not a valid character in the Projects tab

Okay, so I want my 'Projects' tab (that thing on the left side of the screen, under the profile pic) to show that I'm working on Nekrolia: Infection. But it doesn't allow the colon (:) to be in that tab.
I find this a major flaw (or bug, whatever. Note that I don't mean to use the word 'flaw' in a harsh manner, I just couldn't find a nicer word) in this particular feature, as almost every mod map for Battlefront II will have a colon in it.

What's wrong with just using a - character?

Doesn't really look right...

Sorry, but that's just the way the code is built - Guru would have to custom code those fields otherwise, which isn't as easy as some seem to think.

look at the phpBB source code, then you will understand why.

hmm...I guess I understand. But what about the limit? Surely there is some way to expand it.

What? I know he can't change it, and it sucks, because I'd like to use a colon.
