Forum option to hide custom titles

[Nash]

There are users here who're using custom titles that break the forum layout (if it's an overly long one with no spaces) and I'd like the option to just hide custom titles from my view.

How about just reporting such users to the admins so that they can take some action (e.g. changing the custom title, or if possible, block those users from setting a custom title?)

I haven't reported, but I have (politely) PMed said person on Discord about their custom title a few days ago, with no response. Perhaps they are busy. Perhaps they don't care? If the latter; there's nothing I can do, which was why I made this thread.

What browser are you using that it actually breaks things? To me they just bleed right off the edge of the screen harmlessly.

Avatar on the left side, maybe?

I reduced the maximum characters to 25. I have a feeling I know who Nash is talking about - that's enough to make his title barely smidge things off, rather than utterly destroying things.

IMO 25 characters is a bit too restricted. Nash's own title is 58 characters, and even making it just "Nash Muhandes [Audio Engineer]" would still be 30 characters, which is too long for the new limit.
Also, shouldn't it be line-breaking the title so it can't break the forum layout anyway? The location text already seems to do this, so it shouldn't be impossible to change the CSS to do that for titles too.

(And just to make sure it works correctly, I'd say set it to line-break mid-word, so if someone sets their title to "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", it still line-breaks it)

Give me the proper CSS code and I'll do it. You can use an addon like Stylish / (Firefox) to test it.

Well, in my browser it seems it already does it for both location and title, so I guess it was just the default word-wrap method...
Here it is:

Code: Select all

.custitle {
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

Took about a few seconds of actual writing, and at most two or three minutes of googling to find the correct keyword that'd work for all browsers.

Alternatively, if that doesn't fully work in Nash's specific case, use "break-all" instead of "break-word".

It is done. Clear your cache to see the results.

Whoops, I found this thread a bit too late. Nevertheless, this is indeed the proper fix; kudos @phantombeta!
