    Guest's Username is restricted to 8 number of characters or letters.
    Can the number increase to at least 20?

    Hello,

    Usernames can have up to 25 characters I guess, I tried it on my own forum and on your forum too ( http://easttnforum.forumotion.com/ ) , when I got to the register page, I filled up the username field and I can write up to 25 characters. Make sure he's not trying to insert codes on his/her username.

    I'm afraid it isn't possible to raise the limits.

    Hi,

    No it is not possible to increase the limit, even for guests.
    They are restricted to a low limit to prevent them from using ridiculous names.
