    As my forum is in Chinese, that translated to only 4 Chinese characters which is rather limitted. I have checked other editboard forums and looks like this is a problem with my forum. Could anyone help to solve the problem? Or, is this normal? Thanks in advance.

    Problem still remains. It is not nice to allow members to use 8 English letters (4 Chinese words) as member name. Can somebody please help to rectify it. Thanks many much.

    I don't even have a clue on how I could help you unfortunately, so I'll pass your problem to a technician. Hopefully he'll be able to help you with it.
    (P.S; if you don't hear any news in a few days, feel free to P.M me to ask)

    Hello,

    I will see if the problem can be solved, probably the chinese characters are considered as 2 characters because thez take more bits in the database.
