The w3t_Posts.B_ParentUser and w3t_PollData.P_IP columns have maximum widths of 20 and 25 characters, respectively. All the other username fields apparently have a maximum width of 30 characters.

Why is this?

I know that the stock input form limits usernames to 16 characters, but I'm importing from UBB.classic, which allows 25-character login names and 35-character public names. I can truncate them if required, but I need to know what the limits are. The more truncation I have to do, the more complicated it will be, since I'll have to contact users individually to let them know their usernames have changed.

Here's a related post concerning this issue.

Edit:

I found some other username columns with widths other than 30:

w3t_Subscribe.S_Username - varchar(60)
w3t_Posts.B_LastEditBy - varchar(64)
w3t_Boards.Bo_Poster - varchar(64)
