Umm im not really sure how to explain this... like yea heres a suggestion for the area  were peoples usernames go so that if you got a long name it is only long on there post... see attached screen shot.. invision does it..

instead of screwing up the entire page, it screws up one post?


Would be harder to notice (if it was with avatars) and might be less likely to be removed


Also, depends on if WDZ wants to do it or not

yea thats exaclty what it does... also it would be good for the usernames too and you dont even notice it till you got to that users post...

I like the idea. Some people have very long names without spaces and/or wide avatars and that makes all the page be ugly displayed...

I like the idea to.

Might it just not be as easy to restrict username lengths though?

and how many characters would the limit be?note that some characters like m take more space than others like i. And what about people already registered?

Well, I think the default limit is 20 characters, so maybe 15 would be wise.

I can't think of any existing members off the top of my head with more than 15 characters in thier name, but I think any limit imposed should only apply to new registrations not current members.

That's just my idea anyway.

so there is a limit? i didn't know that
Well, Fraisie, has a 21-characters nick PiratesOfTheCaribbean. I don't have anything against her nick, but it hasn't got any spaces and that makes the pages looking strange.

correct me if i'm wrong but right now the forum displays 1 100%width table right? its just a matter of making it so that each post is a table and that would make it so the even if somebody posts a 1024x768 screenshot on his/her post goes way off the right of the screen

couldnt u just have a fixed width for the username column, that way, if the person has a really long username, then it will just take up multiple lines
