Question: I’m using ExpressionEngine with the new forum module, and I’d like to change the number of characters that is allowed per post. How do I do that?
Answer: You’ll need to do two things:
* Update the global preferences to allow for more characters.
* Issue the following query from inside of EE or phpMyAdmin:
update exp_forums set forum_max_post_chars = "9000" where forum_max_post_chars = "6000"
Replace 9000 with the value you want to set.
NOTE: You can changes these individually, but this query updates all the forums.
