    Default Maximum Username Length

    Is it hardcoded to 8 characters or can you change this?

    From what I gather, this 8 character username length limit is hardcoded and can not be changed.

    I do find this to be an unreasonable, and not understandable limit. Why only eight??

    Thank you. I do feel more enlightened. Though I still find it unreasonable!
