There may be other problems, though. I tried increasing that value, and I still couldn't register a user with a long name. One of these checks in register.php is failing:

if (!$member_handler->insertUser($newuser)) {
   echo _US_REGISTERNG;
   include 'footer.php';
   exit();
}
$newid = $newuser->getVar('uid');
if (!$member_handler->addUserToGroup(XOOPS_GROUP_USERS, $newid)) {
   echo _US_REGISTERNG;
   include 'footer.php';
   exit();
}


I glanced at those functions, and didn't see anything obvious, so more debugging is needed.

Re: username size error

OK, all three steps made?

1) Increase value in database table?
2) Increase value in input user form?
3) Increase value in User info settings?

Yes. I doubt if I'll spend any more time on it, since I don't expect to have any need for usernames > 25 characters, and I have more important things to work on.

irmtfan,
Did you resolve this issue? I am also trying to increase the amount of characters.

Has anyone been successful increasing the number of characters in the username field using XOOPS 2.2.4?

Thanks,
Hope

After [size=xx-large]8[/size] years still this problem remains unsolved in xoops 2.5.5
but i just found one of the hardcoded lines in Kernel/user.php line 61:

$this->initVar('uname', XOBJ_DTYPE_TXTBOX, null, true, 25);


It should be corrected in the next versions.

xoops is full of these kind of hardcoded lines that is painful for utf8 non latin websites to resolve them. because mainly there is no error.
for example in the above mentioned issue, xoops said "the user is successfully modified" but the uname has been cut off after 25 character (latin) and 12-13 characters (multi-byte languages)

the other limits in xoops user table are as below:

the 'bio' field size should be changed to "text" . now it is "tinytext" (127 characters in multi-bytes languages).

the 'user_sig' field size should be changed to "text". Also is "tinytext"

Thank you mamba for the reopening of that bug.
i explain more there.
All these kind of limitations should be handled from admin profile module configuration.
