I tried signing up as NorthernLightMountain but couldn’t since there seems to be a limit on user name length at 20 characters. (There’s a bug for that btw, you won’t get an error message if the user name is too long, it just won’t submit the form and stalls)

Display names seems to share that limit. Wouldn’t mind seeing it raised a bit if possible?

No biggie if not, just hoping I could look like I had imagined :)

    That setting does exist but it is not specifically for display names, maybe that should be separate. I’m not sure. How much longer do you think it should be?

      Yeah, they used to be separate, now it’s user names a communities combined it looks like.

      Not sure, maybe 30? It’s worth playing with. That ought to be enough for a while though? Unless we come up with a long community name that lots of people want. 😁

        And to be honest, I don’t get why them combined them. Feels like a display name ought to be able to be longer than a user name, no?

      Ant chance of boasting the max length a bit during some upcoming maintenance or something?

      (Pretty please? :D)
