I have had a few problems when importing my members into SMF.

QuoteThe USERNAME is to big. What is the current size the USERNAME?

I tried to find that field in MySQL, but I did not find it. How can I increase it?

QuoteAlso, why can't I import automatically or manually a member who has a ' in his name. Example Ron O'Dow.

Because the ' is a reserved character in Bo php and MySQL...  It would need to be escaped

I do not recommend. Altering the username field size. That will have more impact than just a small little change.

Thanks Kindred. Can you specify. I have people members from all over the world and some names are very long.
