There's a 30 character limit in the homepage field when editing authors. This bug appeared a few version releases ago, not sure exactly when.

Good catch. It was probably a copy and paste error on my part when I tried to put some limits on the field lengths.

This is a pretty easy fix. Just make the following two changes in the gm.cgi file ...
On line 963, change ...
maxlength="30" name="newauthorhomepage"
... to ...
maxlength="300" name="newauthorhomepage"
On line 1229, change ...
maxlength="30" name="editedhomepage"
... to ...
maxlength="300" name="editedhomepage"
I opted for a 300 character limit, but you can change this to whatever you want.
