I am using Safari on IOS/Desktop. If cutting off long usernames is intentional, I feel like that cutoff should be lengthened because as it is it would be less space to just have the W at the end of my username.
It cuts off based on your screen size. For example, on my iPhone 12 Mini, I can only see ‘Brightm’. Personally I’d prefer text scaling instead of cutting it off. My OCD is absolutely bothered by this one. 😭

@Mew I completely agree that it should scale instead of cut off! why allow me to have a username that’s too long?
also its worth noting that it only cuts off like this when I have my window full-size. When I scale my window down to be narrower I can actually see my full username!
Agreed! I’m unsure why the username cutoff was intentional. No offense to any of the developers/UI designers, but it‘s not visually appealing and appears unintentional which isn’t a good thing. It seems like the only way to avoid this is by having a low ID and three character username which means most people will experience this.
Also, that’s really interesting! That really does lead me to think it isn’t working as intended either.

I haven't played on anything other than my laptop in a full-sized window, but my username gets shortened on me both on my profile AND the forums. I've gone from Clockwork Moose to Clockwork Moo.
…I'm a cow… T-T
I'd much rather long usernames being displayed in a slightly smaller font!
