What is the length of names for members?? cause i think it should be shortened.

example rakesh_the_great@hotmail.

and when he posted, it makes the site look really weird.

Yeah I gotta agree!  I think something like 20 characters is more than sufficient perhaps even 11 would be enough Christopher is only 11 and that looks too long

Usernames are currently limited to 32 characters. I am assuming WDZ assigned this value..

well, maybe not shorten them but skip the line when they get to a certain number of characters so this wouldn't happen

I guess I did... the MyBB default is 30, which isn't much better... I'm not sure why I made it 32...

Names of that length are OK if they have a space in them, because they'll wrap onto a second line... unfortunately, the username mentioned in the first post has no spaces.

musicalmidget is 13 characters and to be honest, I don't think it looks that long.  It doesn't change the page layout or anything.

I've got to agree though that some names are just far to long and I think the limit should be reduced a little.

not many names have spaces in them though

17 Sounds reasonable enough to me.  I don't really think it should be any more than 20 at a maximum...but then it's not up to me.

* kao votes 3 characters.



As long as my name fits in fine i'm happy

No, seriously i think about 20-25 is by far enough
