Name Restrictions

[Amarjit]

I think there ought to be a restriction in the quantity of characters available to a user, registering. I've seen some users with massive usernames (not naming anyone) which totally ruin the forum's layout by increasing the tables' width to fit their huge names. Or maybe it's just me .

just u

I can see your point, but the people who have longs names don't seem to post that often (or not that i've noticed) so it's not really a big deal

actually, I have to agree, with only having a small monitor, it can be annoying, but i think its too much to ask of Paul/VB to check this as well

[J'Pol]

Surely this would be automated, like max characters in sig.

[N£MO]

I agree and think this is a good idea.

It is annoying when you got a smaller monitor.

I agree there should be a limit. Maybe 20 characters?

I've only seen one guy with a long username Click here to see his profile

Can the admins truncate his name by editing the database (like those silly Short File names with the ~1).

[TRshady]

yeah, there should be a limit. I reckon 7 should be max .

But, seriously, 20 sounds right and it's true that long names are a nuisance and would be more tidy without them.

At least have a good name (Nottingham )......
