	I have 10.03 installed and cannot find the option for increasing the user name length. I've looked in every option I could find. Does anyone know where I can set the user name length? Thank you,

	The username length I believe is set by the database itself. In the tblAuthor the username field size is 30 (meaning 30 characters) You would need to manually edit the database and adjust this to a higher number (say 50) if you wanted that. It would not be an option that you would find on the forum admin side I think

	Well thats the thing. The tblAuthor is already set for a greater size than the textfield on the login form. The login textfield is set for 20 while the database is 50.

	It is not possible to increase the username length without locating every user name text field and increasing it's size and also locating every part that the username is read in from a form or querystring response and increasing the size.
