WHM Username

[Craig]

Hi.

Can i just ask why WHM will only allow usernames that are 8 characters long when creating an account.

Cheers.

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 can see where they are coming form.

One more question,i am going to offer my clients the chance of the rv skin.

I have news posted in cpanel but it will not show on the rv skin,only in the x or x2 skin.

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.

I did but just got this message

Sorry, please change elite cPanel to rvskin theme in order to access RV Skin Manager.

I dont see an option to change the main account to the rvskin.

I will have to do this for you, would you like me to?

[Craig]

Yes please.

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