Limiting The Number of Blocks Displayed on Certain Modules

Hey Guys,

I wanted to know if this was possible. I have a very long front page, complete with many left, and right blocks. However, on some modules... such as "Your Account" , "Survey" , "Photo Gallery" , etc ... the blocks run longer than the actual module content. I wanted to know if it was possible to limit the number of blocks shown on those module pages, that way I don't have a long page on every module. Any ideas?

Just letting you know people are looking, If I have time, Ill hard code something for you, and in the future, might make an admin page to do Just this.

There is something like this, I think, already out there. I vaguely recall someone mentioning it in the forums here. However, for the life of me, I cannot remember exactly what it was... maybe "auto blocks" or "blocks module admin" or some keywords like that might find it.

Its really simple, but am on vacation, and not at a computer with e-mail or my files. Somewhere in either mainfile or modules.php(sorry fighting off member) Hardcode an if statement. If module_name=blah; then sql call is the same, but noiw, limit *(number) is added. We can do all this with one call to the sql. Setting something in the admin panel wouldnt be that hard, I might have something out by
New-Years, but I will have it out!!! If you find something, let us know.
