It should work fine doing this if you are using the existing member API, but it's worth testing to make sure as you may have a few problems like when searching for members using the search system.]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:14:47 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/database-modification_topic20765_post111353.html#111353 https://forums.webwiz.net/database-modification_topic20765_post111274.html#111274 Author: swrdfghtr

I'm integrating my forums' authentication with an external member database; it's working quite well thanks to the various posts, here, on the subject.

However, the external database allows up to 100 characters for the username, while the forums' Authors table permits only 25.

Off the top of your head (anyone), is there any danger in simply modifying the Authors table schema to make the username 100 chars rather than 25?

Thank you for any insight!
Don
