Why is my username shortened when I post an answer, but it's displayed as full when I post a comment to an answer?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This is to prevent page layout breakage.

The top commenter's avatar either has slightly more padding than the following avatars or less characters set in the usernames truncate function.

This is to prevent long usernames breaking the page layout if they overflow.

Pixel perfect webdesign is a nightmare to perfect, especially with user submitted content so truncation and other techniques are needed to keep everything in check.

hmmm, good eye and good question. I've never noticed this before. If I had to guess, it is probably just a spacing issue with the page layout. It's possbible that it is something that is being worked on but if not...

Depending on the responses you get here - I'd suggest sending this question directly to the fabulous Mahalo gurus via a direct message or email contact@mahalo.com or notify@mahalo.com.

I don't like how they cut off the user names that are too long under the picture. I think they should show the whole name or put a limit on how many letters it can have so it doesn't get cut off.

True. Either go around and look for a better solution (bigger avatar, thus bigger space for name) or put a limit on character number, then allow those with long username to change them.

Just slightly bigger avatar will be good enough to accommodate those with "too long" usernames. I would rather the right sidebar to be narrow down to make space for the avatar.
