To suggest all user names are restricted to 8 letters & easily abbreviated?

[LikeIcan]

It's a bit annoying having to type out a really long user name - have a user name that's easy on the eye and the finger - or if you insist on going over the top, choose a name that can be easily abbreviated.

Just shorten them Lik.

What about shit?

Longer. But it's still easy to shorten.

YABU.

TiggyD can be shortened to Hotlips if you like.

Just looking back at that old thread of mine and realising I used to waste way to much time on here.

Steady on, Tiggy

YANBU. And usernames with mum or mummy can do one, too.

copy and paste

YABU

Are we calling you purdiepi now?

Pourquoi, I hope you are cooking the famous MN rubber chicken.????????????.

Don't you just cut and paste?

Cut and paste means having to grab a mouse if tying on a computer, or fiddling around selecting and copying if on a phone or tablet. I like to keep typing.

You can't c&p easily on mobile site fuck knows why.

I'm easily abbreviated (MrsH) so I request exceptional permission for three more characters.

Back in the day file names had to be eight characters or fewer and it was tricky to be unique after not very long.

What is this chicken of which you speak? Now I feel I'm missing out.

YABU.

YABVU

YABU.

I love clever usernames, no matter how long.
'Tis fun.

I think the OP should read

"To suggest all user names are restricted to 8 letters OR BE easily abbreviated?"

I cut and paste on the mobile site, maybe it depends what phone you have.

I mean copy and paste
