I am using vb3 .. how do u do it in that? tried changing a few things to medium text, but so far still no luck ..

i changed: profilefield - field: maxlength to mediumtext -- and that didn't seem to work. i'll try userfield now.

This is the wrong forum for vB 3 hack requests anyways.

In vB3 it seems to be based on what input method you select. If you choose a muti-line select box you should be able to enter more than the 250/255 limit that the others seem to have.

Also, just change the maximum length to a high number, did you try that? It's generally not a good idea to have a field to unlimited characters anyways, in any situation. Maybe put 1,000 chars or something.
