if you have a 'serious'- information- or twitter-orientated cummunity-site it 'makes sense' ;-) to display information compressed
but, we must talk about it ;-)
a lot of people love ascii-pictures
so
tell me, which main view or function is involved to convert/compress the content of the fields?
where is the best place to customize, to have the orginal river dasboard with compressed text
AND a custom page without convert?
and what is the best way to customize the wire and the comments of pedro prez river comments plugin?

i think, i got a way to manage the 'problem' . . . 
for example the profile status . . . 
in profile_status.php
echo $content;
displays:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵Ʒ. .(ړײ) wish you .«▓» a ..╝╚. nice day....:-))

but

echo elgg_view("output/longtext",array("value" => parse_urls($content)));
displays:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵Ʒ.
.(ړײ) wish you
.«▓» a
..╝╚. nice day....:-))

that is what i want 
:-)
