Long Entry being cut off, not saving after a certain point

    I have a very weird problem. I have an entry that is long due to some tabular data (basically a catalog of items) and when I save the entry it is being cut off. In other words it does not save the whole entry, only part of it.

    Is there some size limitation with the database or other setting that I can adjust? Have you ever heard of such a thing? Any suggestions? I tried to do a forum search but I seem to be having trouble with the new forum system. It kept timing out and when it didn’t I did not get any results.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi, johnboat. You’d need to manually change the field type for that particular field from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT.

    Here’s a thread that should help: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/142337/
