User Profile Characters

[southernstyle]

Is there a way to set the number of characters a member can use in their profile? I see one for member name, but not profile content. I have a user who says it lets him type what he wants, but when he saves it, only part of it is saving, it kicks out the rest.

Thanks,
Southern

What field are you talking about specifically? It could be the text input box only allows so many characters, or it could be the column in the mysql table only allows so many characters.

In the additional info box on the profile. It's allowing only a certain # of characters. Is there a way to change it?

I just went to my User CP here and Edit Options and I do not see a box that says Additional Info.

[southernstyle]

It's under edit profile.

Well, I still don't see a box titled "Additional Info". I see one for Real Name, vb Version, etc. However, all those are in the userfield table and are all MediumText fields which will take 16777215 characters (which I will guess is just fine for your needs). The fields themselves are defined under User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager > find the field and then there is a Max Length and Field Length specified there.

I'm in User Profile Options. I don't see anything that says User Profile Fields or User Profile Field options.

Did you make that field your self in the the admin cp?

admincp -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

Look in the list for the field you want to make the input longer hit edit.

Then look for "Max length of allowed user input"
Default is is set to 100

Thanks, was looking in the wrong place.
