Is there a way to increase/vary the length of the post a visitor to my community site can make?

Terence Watts

In /includes/lib/common.inc.php

find:
id="form_message" maxlength="240" class="fpost" style="width:95%" >'.$default_msg.'</textarea>
<div id="apps_box"></div>
<div id="charsRemaining"></div>

Change the "maxlength" to whatever value you want.

i have tried it..
but post length not getting longer that 200 chars....

It increases but if you increase to 400 and post something of 400 it only show 200 char. delete reaming 200

works fine for me.

I would like to know how to include html, like images in comments post

well i have tried to insert images in comments post..
it's working fine when you post them..
but disappear when you refresh your page..

but pls help me to increase post length
