[SVT Cobra]

I know this is a repost but I think the other thread got clipped...

and

COLLEGERESOURCES

MommysLittleMonster


limit the characters in the username registration?

nah not to change exsisting users names...but there are more and more n00bs (or ppl that were banned) using long usernames to get laughs etc..

I guess it really does not matter

Don't know what you mean by clipped, but other threads are:

restrict user names to a lengh that dosen't break the tables

and

Members with long names screwing up tables

and

Limit to the Length of Usernames

and

excessively long names

so I guess they are aware.

They could also just hard-code the width of the affected column, so long names won't make it any wider.

 

[BillyBobJoel71]

They could, but they are not because of the ratio of long names to normal ones.

Meh, it's not that bad. At least it doesn't affect the entire thread. I don't think it's really that big of a deal.

What are worse are the posts with the unspaced letters like:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ad nauseum

so that the whole page reaches a few normal pages in width.

Here's a WILD thought: Why don't the fusetalk people fix their poor design implementation instead?

Maybe they don't consider it poor design implementation or a big problem.

Posted 06/04/2003 by Jason about putting a limit on the length of user names:
"You can't, all the html is dynamic widths and its entirely dependant on resolution, image sizes allowed etc. It's a minor annoyance nothing more."

Jason hasn't said anything different (that I remember) about it since then. Maybe someday he'll surprise us in a new version and, since it will be an improvement only in absence, no one will even notice.
