I was having the same issue at Forums4Bauer I am using a modified version of the bbPress forum template. One thing I did was widen the whole thing, but to get rid of the hidden long names I made the following changes to the style.css file in my-templates:

#thread {

background: #eee;

list-style: none;

margin: 0 0 0 110px;

padding: 0;

}

#thread li {

padding: 1.5em 1.0em;

line-height: 1.5em;

height:100%;

}

#thread li ol, #thread li ul {

margin-left: 60px;

height:100%;

}

.threadauthor {

margin-left: -140px;

overflow: hidden;

position: absolute;

width: 100%;

}

I also added:

.threadpost {min-height:120px;}

Unfortunately that doesn’t work in IE. I’m looking for a way around a problem I’m having where short replies overlap. That’s not typically a problem, but I’m using my Graphic Display Ranks plugin, and images that are taller than some of the replies.

Hope this helps.
