    I'm using the beta style, so it might not occur for everyone. If you look at the post by whoopsadaisydoodles (one word) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055804520&p=64085593

    it's shifting the page layout over, should the css not be forcing a wrap once the width goes over a set px/% ?

    It never did that even on other skins. My name does it a little bit.

    Names were restricted a while back to limit them to 15 characters to prevent new users from picking usernames which would do this. The restriction was not retroactively applied to old user accounts.

    If you want to force it to keep the layout you could reduce the font size a notch.

    Or you could alos use this css feature to cut it off:

    It's probably fine as it is though.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
