    Description text cutoff fix...

    How do I set the forum description through phpmyadmin to allow text not to be cut off in the forum description. I asked this question many months ago and someone told me to change a specific setting so that the text would all show.


    Does anyone remember what the change was? I did a search but couldn't find my post

    Thank You.

        I would make the "NOT NULL" be "NULL" unless you absolutely positively have to have a description for every forum and every category.

          I haven't changed it yet. I somehow remember something about the text type. Was there a change text type or something?

          I'll be doing this tonight. I just don't want to mess up my wonderful work...

          Thanks Gentleman.

            PHPmyAdmin is where?

            I'm fairly new to vBulletin. Can you tell me where the PHPmyAdmin is?

              Chaos,

              PhpMyAdmin isn't part of vBulletin, it's a separate application. Usually it's supplied by your web host and, if so, you should be able to access it through CPanel or whatever web management software your host supplies.

                Another way?

                Then is there a way in vBulletin to change the length of the forum description?
