TextArea only lets me have 65534 characters

Hi,

My TextArea will only let me have minimum and maximum values of 65534 characters.

I have looked around to see if this is a common problem, but i cant find any info on this. Can someone please help

Thank you for your time

Hello

I had this problem, far as I remember I removed the minimum and max field text and the hover, help text that members can view which fixed the issue.

Hi,

I removed the minimum and maximum fields and this seemed to fix the issue. But i wanted to set the minimum characters to 20 characters. But when i do this, and click save. I check back again and my minimum field has ben changed to 65534.

Does anyone have the answer for this issue?

Thank you

Chris

I was thinking at first, what's the big deal.  Then I looked again and realized he might not want to write out 12 pages of text as the minimum HL.

Next up I thought about the quotes issue from yesterday and the tinyint was just not big enough for him, Deano and I discussed it with the OP.  But that isn't his problem either. 

It seems that his site is calling up the max limit for a text field in MySQL and ignoring any other variables that are being put in here for a minimum value.  So the question that is on all of our minds:  What did you do OP, as far as modifications go, to cause this change to happen?

yes exactly, it seems to be calling up the maximum limits, and ignoring what limits i am setting.

so does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Also am i reading you correct, when you are talking about the '' tinyint was just not big enough for him'' are you talking about the editable  text fields here? I also could do with these being much bigger, as i am building a dating site, and these editable text fields are just to small for me really.

Is there a way to make them any bigger?

Thank you

Chris
