XF 2.2 best way to deal with long usernames

[Mr Lucky]

I noticed that usernames just look wrong when they are too long and so get wrapped after x characters.

e.g.



I'm not too optimistic but apart from telling users to use shorter names or names with spaces, is there anything to make this behave better? Widening the user info block isn't an ideal solution, we'll be forever chasing usernames such as Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft

You can set the max char length for usernames in the acp options.

Yes, but I'm wondering how to deal with existing ones.

Well, other than limiting chars or widening the user info block, I dont think there is much you can do.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

The other thing with this is that the problem is the length of a single word.

in my example ChampagneBears is a problem, whereas Champagne Bears would be fine

Yes but at least that permits more attractive word-wrapping, doesn't it?

Wanted to bump this, as we are finding the same issues. Without lowering the username size across the board - is there anyway to target just the usernames that are longer than the post bit to auto-size through css to a smaller font size? I tried

text-size-adjust: auto;
white-space: nowrap;

with no success. Or any other solutions?
