I'm not sure if this has been done but I think we need something in the log in and the servers that should look like a small box and scroll buttons and under it a thing that says save name
This would allow people with longer names be able to save their screen name. This would only save it on their computer not a whole internet wide thing or too many names would be on but people could just click their saved name in the box and it would appear in the user name part and then they could just type in their pass making it much easier.

note: this would be on the servers not the forums for people who didn't quite get what I am saying

Well, that would be a little helpful.
It's too bad Firefox doesn't do it for the servers.

well it saves it as long as the screen remains up.

its your fault if you have a long name, get a new one.

If you have that complicated of a name, then you have 2 choices:

1) Use a normal name
2) Save it in a text file, then copy/paste it when needed.

You shouldn't even have names that are to hard to type.

If they choose a long name like mine is (i think it is long) then thats is there problem

Yes, but if they make the choice, then they also choose to have to deal with it anytime they want to log in.

There is no problem, because no one forced them to take the name.

my sentiment exactly, when I ran DF I actually was pretty biassed against people with long names and alt chars. I wouldn't invite someone or play anyone if I couldn't spell out their name with minimal effort.

Regardless of the name size it would be nice to just click and type pwd and login.

The 0 key on my numpad is broken, thus no cross characters! Why do people insist on having crosses in their names?! I cannot /stat half the people I see in the lobby!

Dude, you just type alt+t, not alt+0156 or whatever.

Alt-t does not work on 95% of computers.
