Yeah, but it still sticks out. That's ugly .

Did you have permission from all us users in that post who are having their names displayed?

Not much we can do about this, its html tables and they are all separate tables There is a restriction on nicknames and we're not going to make it any smaller as it gets too small. This issues is sparse and really isnt a big deal. We allow full name format in fusetalk as well where people can put their first and last name so the "problem" exists there too. The only way to make it look "better" is not to output each message separeately as a table and have it as one long table. But anyone thats done programming for the web knows what happens when a browser renders a massive table (it takes forever). This way messages display as they are downloading, not when the entire page is done.

The FuseTalk side is fine... I was thinking the length limit should be lowered. But you said you don't think so, so that's that .
