    Could I suggest that usernames longer than X which cause the username to poke into the post contents area be displayed in a smaller font so this doesn't happen because it screws up the aesthetics

    if you use a smaller keyboard it might make a difference :/
    or maybe not.


    It hardly makes a huge difference. Its not like MAJD's name is really that long is it?

    Can the registration not be changed so that names can be a maximum of X characters/spaces?

    It is. My name is at the maximum and it still pushes it out a little.

    Resolution doesn't make a difference. I'm on 1920x1200 and it's the same.

    Odd that my previously applied nick wrapped and didn't cause it. :)

    Yup. 4 of them. That's probably why.

    Maybe those rules were not always in place though as minesajackdaniels is 2 characters longer than yours and was probably not subject to such restrictions at the time.

    I agree with the OP though.

    It's not the size of your user name that matters, but what you do with it.
