When we used to use vB it allowed us to enter in the amount of letters (characters) that were displayed. Since XenForo is better, I'm assuming it allows this too.
For example; if you chose 7 characters and the word "community" was displayed, it would look like commune*** but if you chose 14 characters then the full word would be displayed.
We just purchased this new style and Brogan is right, they moved where it is displayed so I'll contact them about this.
