length of username
I get this error message in the forums when I try to register with a username longer than 15 characters. Here is the actual error message:

Oops! You could not be added:

* Username too long. The maximum length of a username is 15 characters

Anyway around this?

Thanks

Lennie

Is this in these forums, or on your own installation?

My bad, I should have been clearer. It is my installation. I can't figure out where the username character limit is hiding. In the SQL database (the user column) the username is set at 255 characters, so I'm not sure why it won't accept usernames over 15 characters. . .

It's in Setup -> Users, right around the middle of the page ("username_max_length").
