Unlimited Characters in Profile Field
 

It looks like a custom profile field has a limit of 250 characters. There's a field on my site that sometimes requires anywhere from 500 to 1000 characters. I would like a hack that removes the max character limit in custom profile fields.

this questions has been answered severla times, try searching throug request forums.

hint: you have to change the fields of the table :)

Meh... I did look around. Thanks for the hint, I guess. :p

Alright, I looked around for a while... with no luck. I went into the mysql db and fooled around... with no luck. So if anybody else thinks that they can tip me off in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Have you tried changing the maxlength column value in the profilefield table?

Yes, I upped it to 999 with no results.

Bah... I've been searching for quite a while and still have no answer. Perhaps you can go ahead and tell me now?? :)

anyone?

You'll need to change the field type in the database in the userfield table, I don't know what column as I don't have vB2 installed, changing it to TEXT for example will allow alot more text.

They currently go up to 250 characters, for everyone's information (FEI) :)
