[support] ***DHSPAM*** long username getting truncated at the bottom of blog posts

[Jean Gazis]

I actually changed the line above like this:

 if (drupal_strlen($object->name) > 22) {
      $name = drupal_substr($object->name, 0, 15)

- where the 22 used to be 20. She happens to have a 21-letter name, what are
the odds? (Probably not actually that small.)

Anyway, it seems to have worked fine. Thanks to you and whoever else it was
that answered my question.
