I have recently designed a forum and one page, the 'New Thead' page, obviously has a text area for the users to enter their text in. However when the character length of the text gets to 1000 or so, presumably including CRLF's and <BR>'s or whatever, it will not continue to the next page wiich previews the contents of the form on the last page.
When there are less characters in the box, however, the page works fine and the next page previews it fine, this mkes me presume that there is some kind of maximum character length for textarea which is messing it up..
What is the problem?
How can I fix it? Will I have to split the text up into chunks and then stitch them back together for viewing?
will I have to restrict the length of a post??
thanks for your help!!
