Hello Craig,

This isn't a restriction that we have put in place, I am not sure why cPanel has decided to only let 8 character usernames. I have always wondered why, I guess it is for ease of management.


Regards,

I believe RV Skin uses it's own seperate news system. Try using the "RV Skin Manager" located in your WHM in the left hand frame under "Add-ons". There should be an option to setup news there.

Yes please.

I take it that this would not affect my clients skins.
