Finite number of characters in forums description?

Hi all,

I'm trying to add some new categories to my forums. The descriptions are all quite long and keep getting cut off by vBulletin. I think the maximum characters I'm allowed is 204.

Can anyone tell me what I should hack to resolve this (quite stupid) issue.

Regards,

the forum description field is limited to 250 chars in the database structure. Running this command will change this behaviour:

ALTER TABLE `forum` CHANGE `description` `description` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL

(Back up your db and use it in your own risk).

Then database field will be able to accept more than 250 chars for forum descriptions and you should be fine provided that admin/forum.php does not restrict/cripple your entered text as well. If so, you need to hack forum.php so as to remove this restriction either.
