I want to change my name to Ultraviolence1989 but I can't change it as it is 17 characters and the limit is 16

Is there anyway it would be possible for my name to be changed to Ultraviolence1989?

Thanks

I've checked and it is possible if done through the Admin CP, however the reason for the limit is that it won't show up completely in the posting box (and also probably to stop people making ridiculously long usernames themselves, I won't let this turn into a flood of longer usernames). If that's okay with you I see no harm in letting you go one over the limit until you next decide to change, unless that screws up some board function I'm not aware of if kept for a long time.

Thanks so much Iz, I'll think I'll stick with it for a while :wub:

Please can I have my name changed back to Ultraviolence1989 :heart:
