overflow: hidden looks okay but it does have the drawback of hiding some of the user name. I tested "word-break: break-all" and it seemed to work well. It'll look a little awkward when it's just one or two characters over the width but I think it's the better option. It has good browser support (even IE8) except for Opera mini.

I had to send in my computer to be fixed last week, which is why I haven't been able to do much work. I tested this just using inspect element. The CSS selector that looks the best is ".widget_cac_bp_whos_online_widget .item-title" or if the class ".item-title" isn't really in use in other places in ways that would be bad to apply this rule, .item-title would work. I'm happy to make the change and push it to github when I get my computer back (probably on Thursday) if it isn't urgent. Sorry!
