   I was testing out the registration and I was able to create a new user with a user name that was extremely long.

   Where can I make a change to limit the user name to like 50 chars?

   jwack,

   Here is a good place to start: http://scriptplayground.com/tutorials/js/Limit-Textfield-Input/. If the maxlength attribute wasn't depreciated this would be easier.

   This information corresponds to the wp-login.php file at line 415.

   jwack,

   Adding maxlength="9" in wp-login.php at line 415 worked for me. Now my new users are limited to a username no longer than nine characters.
