Code To Restrict User Name Length

[JJ]

I have a few members that have extremely long names, (22 characters!). They aren't real names, just made up names or names extended abnormally with characters. I'd like something to restrict the size to a normal length. I'm not exactly sure what normal would be until I play around with it, but that is the only variable I would need to change, the numerical value.

Thank you for your consideration. JJ

ETA: I have been told in the Support Forum that there is a plugin for this pending approval. I also was given another possible fix. So you can disregard this request.

I know a little bit about javascript, jrryan, but only how to use it. I didn't see anything in that scrip that designated user name, what did I miss?

Ahh, thanks for the response, jrryan. I do agree with you, a code would probably work. I appreciate plugins, they sure do a good job at what they do, but they are not quite as flexible and a good old fashioned code. Sometimes it is not necessary to use a bazooka when you just need a BB gun.

Thank you for the suggestion, jrryan, but I do think I will wait a bit since I was told a fix was already in the works.

Thank you jrryan for your interest in my predicament. Forever Sunshine you deleted your post as I was preparing to reply, thank you also. I have a fix, RedBasset has created a plugin for this purpose and it works brilliantly!

~*~ Sorry JJ. I read farther down in the thread and realized it wasn't what you wanted.

Thankfully, Red created the plugin! YAY!
