I changed my username to VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatoryPamphlets and have managed to post with that name once but it keeps going back to this username and dropping the "Pamphlets* :(

It's happened again! I haven't logged out, I haven't even closed this tab, I just went into the kitchen to make dinner Confused
I didn't register the shortest name on purpose, it looked like the longer name was successful but then when I posted the shortened name came up, so I registered the longer name again and it worked for one post. Then I got fed up and went back to my old nn.

You've actually got both names assigned to your user account - that is, at some point you changed from 'VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatoryPamphlets' to 'VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatory', and your account is treating them as two separate user-names that you're switching between. Are you logging in and out a lot?

Afraid there's a character limit on nicknames which it looks like you've hit- so you'll have to abbreviate it somehow or think of a new name.
