WebStyles Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Today I saw this post: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=339734.0 (check out the username overlapping) There should be a limit when creating account or changing username. (it's actually strange that there isn't) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243031-limit-username-length/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yeah, this looks like a bug in SMF. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243031-limit-username-length/#findComment-1248282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What in the.. how does that person even remember that username. I mean, once he clears his cookies and all, .... That username is just absurd.

phpSensei Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 we need a \n guyss... haha but that name must be stored in some external hard drive and he probably carries around the txt file so he can copy paste the name when he wants to log in. Its not just any external hard drive, with a name that long, its probably 100 tb.

JmBd Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 What in the.. how does that person even remember that username. I mean, once he clears his cookies and all, .... That username is just absurd. People think they are funny when they do something like that. Maybe the administrator can change the font size too to make it look less cluttered.

.josh Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think people do that sort of thing because they aren't interested in having to register on a site to ask a question, so they just enter in random shit to jump through that hoop, no intention of returning later...or if they do, just make another random account. And in general I'm fine with anonymous posting... problem is that it opens the door for spambots :/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243031-limit-username-length/#findComment-1259401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
