It's about that ridiculous position of: Finally someone gives a (very involved) solution, instead of complaining, assuming everyone cares to learn how to program whatever that code is, or is capabale of it.
That assumption of how reality works, was what was comical about it.

The assumption is on you, Tom. I didn't make it. You're misrepresenting the case.
Reality is this, this part of the forum is "The Lounge, Discussion of anything not related to audio or music production" and anyone reading this thread for amusement or actually interested and invested in this extremely serious problem that just destroys beatz01's day so much that he has to call out another member for the name he has chosen, might just be interested in fixing said issue. Or not, and if so any "technical" suggestions are easily ignored. My only assumption is that those that are interested takes the suggestions for a fix and those that are not ignores it. As long as they are not you, Tom.

"Learning to program" does not enter to it and you know this, Tom. Using prewritten CSS in a user style sheet has been done since style sheets were implemented in the nighties, typically by users with special needs like wanting bigger fonts in a special area or whatever. It's just a few lines of code and people asks in forums and share the knowledge as they actually don't know how CSS works. Few people do. User style sheets trumfs the designer style sheets and built-in style sheets too.
It used to be the user style sheets were easily accessable in the preferences of the browser, but it's more varied now. I proposed the Stylish plug-in as I use that when I get irritated somewhere on a site and it's appreciated by many.

I didn't even realize there was any kind of problem with the GUI here before this thread and I still think it's not even a nuisance.

it should allow any length name to be created but truncate it in html such that the layout is not broken - shouldn't be difficult to code

Why truncate when you can break the line?
Line breaks implemented:

I'm still amazed at the restraint dudewiththelongassname must have, to have a 4 page thread in his honor here, after not even being a member for more than a few days, and yet not comment in it.

I'd say he is not a mult I encountered here before

My my, things are so serious around here. I thought the original post was just a joke, but people getting all serious about a little ruffle in the formatting of an eyesore cookie cutter phpBB forum is pretty hilarious.

Yeah true - I am just bored - IDGAF tbh

You've got the line break in the wrong place

[TomViolenz]

Absolutely! You need to put a function in there that starts a search on the web for known words and then do a heuristic validation to perform the line break.

Anyone can do it! Just use style cheats and CCS

has this been resolved yet?

I am thinking of creating a really long name and I wanted to check whether it would be ok first.

"ballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbagballbag123"

it's a good name and it would be a shame to waste it.

[NoSonic822]

the freedom of choosing whatever username you like is more important ?!

yes. freedom. of thoughts and expression.. trumps formality...always.

You should make that 666 instead of 123

Wouldn't want to waste a chance to go for the full troll and offend yet another group
