Display of user names

[bibblebub]

There should either be a smaller maximum length of user name or the display of them should be truncated because e.g. in this thread http://www.theanswerb...l/Question868001.html the rhs of ALL the postings get hidden behind the Latest Posts and the other things displayed on the right side of the page - the display is messy.

I agree with bibblebub,what is the point of having an extremely good question/answer site and then allow people to use long names, primarily to annoy other users.

[bibblebub]

Just realised that the Report This option is also hidden which the Editor would surely want available for all postings.

This has already been discussed at length: the Ed obviously doesn't see it as a problem as nothing has been done about it already...

[craft1948]

The guy in question has apparently just reported himself because of all the complaints.

[caslass]

I don't think the person in question is who he says he is.

[snags]

No sh!t!

[BertiWooster]

tut

And all I wanted was one extra character , i.e. my missing 'e'

[craft1948]

we all know who he is cas......

[lardhelmet]

Scary_Mary etc. is a bloke?

[theonlyone]

I don't think any one should have a user name with more than
ten digits or letters .

[caslass]

If we know who he is, why has he not been zapped?

[craft1948]

^ nokno's name doesn't cause any problems...........what he types usually does.

[bibblebub]

Not been zapped because the long username means that REPORT THIS is hidden on those threads?

[craft1948]

I think he's still on 'cos there is no Ed at the mo.............

[theonlyone]

No Know ..you having another bad day , dear oh dear ...

[factor-fiction]

This is still happening too often. For example today we've had ιdonтneedaparacнυтe and some guy with manchester and a telephone number in his/her name.
I'm surprised it's so difficult for AB to fix

[bibblebub]

Come on Ed - yet again it's happening because of a klown doing it deliberately - display screwed up which also means that "Report This" is not available on any of those threads, surely you don't want that?.
