Instead of 3-15 characters I would like usernames to be between 3-5 characters long.  Can you explain how to go about this please?

Regards,

You can customize wpForo template files. Particularly the in register.php in update save way.

wpForo theme files:

wpForo theme customization:

Find this line:

<td class="wpf-register-field"><input autofocus required="TRUE" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr($user_login) ?>" name="wpfreg[user_login]" class="wpf-register-text wpfw-70" maxlength="30" /></td>

Change to this:

<td class="wpf-register-field"><input autofocus required="TRUE" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr($user_login) ?>" name="wpfreg[user_login]" class="wpf-register-text wpfw-70" maxlength="5" /></td>
