   CrisW And a Ridiculously Long Name that is more than 84 characters long and counting : Here’s the plan … (Thank you JESUS!)

   CrisW And a Ridiculously Long Name that is more than 84 characters long and counting : I will password protect the chat page. Chatters don’t have to log in to our portal here.

   CrisW And a Ridiculously Long Name that is more than 84 characters long and counting : Like I did on the Forum Page. I’ll scrutinize the Forum code again.

2. How to change the background of the Profile Account Page, for those who might use super long Display Names. 

   Here’s the code I used and have tested to work for our site:

   Go to: 

   1. Forum Dashboard

   2. Settings

   3. On the Styles tab, in the Custom CSS Code box, use the code below:

   /*Profile Avatar background*/
   #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-profile-wrap .wpforo-profile-head-bg {
   background-color: lightgray;
   background-image: none !important;
   }
   
   #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-profile-wrap .wpforo-profile-head-bg .wpfx{
   display:none;
   }

   4. Scroll down and click the Update Options button. 

   5. Go to the Front End of the Forum, press Control Key + F5 to refresh the page. 

   I will also attach the BEFORE and AFTER code screenshots. 

   Hope this helps someone.  Good luck and God bless you!

3. I can try and figure out where to tweak and customize code, but at the end of the real day, (it escapes me most times when that is), it is at FIRST Basic Level, where it needs to be fixed.  At the “Display Name” field and character limits. 

   I fixed #1 and #2, and stuck with #3.

   Because the next area I found such an issue, is at the “Likes” area. 

   I cannot tweak or cut or limit an “a” link.  Like in the attached screenshot. 

   Bang bang.  My brain is toasted.     

   And I want fries with that!  🙂

4. Did another test. The @names should be set with a limit of 20 characters
