I am trying to allow a member to write a good decent paragraph about themselves but they cant go over 250 words. How do i disable this part of VB and allow me to make it maybe 1000 or so?

Can anyone give me a hand?

you have to change the db structure from varchar(250) into mediumtext.

where exactly do i do that xenon? I cant find the varchar line anywhere in the phpmyadmin. Any direction?

you have to go into fieldlist (i think that's what it's called) and edit the column

Hey where'd you find the "fieldlist" ???? I can't find it anywhere. Please and thank you.

How exactly is this all done?? Thanks.

you find the fieldlist by editing a table with phpmyadmin

The thing is I have heard of that back when I started all this VB stuff, but now I forgot where I saw it or what it was. Is it a program that I download? Sorry to be a newbie with a stupid q but I know nothing of this "phpmyadmin" :ermm: I realy do recognize the name though

lol but seriously, I know nothing about it. Any basic help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In your server control panel (contact your host for control panel details) - you should see a place for MySQL and inside of that a link for PhPMyAdmin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
