max length of player name

[bgstack15]

While an absurdly long player name is truncated during gameplay, it is not truncated on the summary page. Would you please consider truncating this after so many characters (30 or 40 or something?)

Hi, thanks for the report. A screenshot would help quite a bit in this kind of case.

What do you mean by the summary page? Do you mean the lobby before the game, with the table? Or the game browser with the list of games and the username in the top right?

At the end of the game, when you are viewing the points, the long name makes the table very wide and basically unreadable. You can zoom out and then view information.

Ah, got it, thanks

Maybe we should just prevent player names that are unrealistically long. I don't think there is a point in a player name of more than 30-40 characters. And it would avoid problems in places where it's nice to see the full non-ellipsized name (like the game browser).

But I agree that maybe in the score table we don't want any name to span multiple lines, and should probably prefer to ellipsize it in this case.
