Full Display Names.

Score + 3
I don't know when this got changed to this auto-truncate state but it is awful, the display names are useful for keeping track of simple things like AC and passive perceptions, it has been a habit for a few campaigns now to have them along with the character name for quick reference. Please return things to a state where display names don't get cut off or at least make it an option in the display section to toggle this feature on or off. It is a useful little bit of the UI that has it's uses and is entirely unobtrusive.

Hi Anupet,  Just making sure, is your group using the Roll20 Voice/Video solution or are you using a different option (such as Discord)? If you aren't using the Roll20 voice/video option, your Game Owner can switch the setting to None and you will get the longer display names back.
Hi Gauss, We are using discord but when setting video to none and names only it cuts them down even more, unless this is another setting I am not seeing?

When you say "set video to none and names only", do you mean in the section labelled "Others can hear or see", or lower down where it's labelled "Chat Tech"? (Only the GM can see that section). Gauss is referring to that lower section:
Ah! Thank you so much! I was looking at the game my friend is running not one of my own so didn't see it. Excellent! Huge thanks to you both!

Sorry for not being more clear, thanks Rick for the assist. :) As an added note setting "Others can hear or see" and "I can hear or see" to "None" does not turn off the Roll20 Voice and Video system, it is more or less equivalent to "mute". The system is still taking resources up.  If your group is not using Roll20's Integrated Voice and Video the Game Owner should absolutely turn it off to save everyone resource usage.
