Character limit?

I have a form that has a text area box for people to added answer questions. When I go to the back end to see what they wrote, anything that's lengthy tends to be cut off. Anyway to fix the character limit?

Hi silentcid,

You probably created the database table using the default column type of VARCHAR(255) which only allow 255 characters. Textareas usually need either a bigger VARCHAR or a TEXT column. You can change the column type in PHPMyAdmin.
