Perhaps instead of a weak attempt at humour: I should have said: 'why does the mod tell the user that his user name is too short when he never actually entered a user name?'

Sent a PM so we can resolve this!

In the interim, I just sent the author a PayPal donation to encourage his on-going efforts ...

ps: Edit: Why does the username field need to be changed to 30 characters? We had reduced ours to 15 as it takes up a lot of postbit space.

The mod has been in production for a while, we are just getting a lot of great ideas and making improvements very quickly! Once we reach 2.0 I don't think there will be much more to add to this. Never know, though.

Ghost users are created with the username "Paid Subscription N" the first to ninth ghost users take up 19 characters. Tenth to ninety-ninth take up 20, and so on. I chose 25 because that is the default in vBulletin and it accomodates many ghost users. Unless you are a board with hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of users, you don't have to raise it to 30.

I completely forgot that username length validation can be skipped completely. You will no longer need to adjust your username maximum length setting; this fix will come as 1.9.

Thank you for the donation!
