   bbpress registration did not indicate there was a set minumu for how many characters in username, might be a good idea if there was a note in the register form

   i kept getting a username not valid and did not know why, how come with wordpress the username was ok but not on bbpress ?

   If I am reading this right, the username was too short? I just registered a user with a single letter as the username on the recent TRAC version and it worked. Others seeing this as well?

   I registered as 'M' on the wp forums ages ago. ;)

   And I run all my registrations through wp instead of bbpress, so I'm no help with this one other than that.

    Yes just edit the textfield (where you have to enter your username) and just let it except like 5 characters or less...

    That's the maxlength property of input fields.

    You can still edit the HTML, though, and submit your crazy username. A serverside check is best.
