Your database on your hosting account has been altered to allow 35 characters to try and resolve this issue for you.
 
Awesome, thankyou Borg, you are a legend my friend Smile

The first one you mention the 500 internal server error look like an issue with mySQL if the username is above 15 characters and contains [ and ].

The second issue you mention, I've had a look at your forum and could add buddies to the buddy list that contained 16 characters. The textbox itself to add new buddies to your buddy list allows 25 characters.

Well i have tried to register that name from a number of different machines running different browsers and on each one i get the following error:
 

The website cannot display the page

 HTTP 500
 

Most likely causes:

  • The website is under maintenance.
  • The website has a programming error.
 

What you can try:

 

Refresh the page.

 

Go back to the previous page.

Usernames in Web Wiz Forums have always been limited to 15 characters long. The database field allows up to 25 to allow enough space for HTML character encoding.]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:22:40 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/max-lenght-of-username-field_topic24716_post129229.html#129229 <![CDATA[Max Lenght of UserName field? : Ok, this problem is starting to...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/max-lenght-of-username-field_topic24716_post129227.html#129227 Author: Gleedo

Ok, this problem is starting to cause some issues.
 
I have had complaints from a number of people saying they cant register.
 
I have checked the database field for this and it says it can be 25 characters long.
 
The latest person who tried to join was trying to have a username of [PSI]FrankTheBunny, but that failed.  I had to register the account for him, but only by shortening it to FrankTheBunny.
 
Other people MUST also be seeing this problem...Any ideas anyone Cry
