I'll check on it. Thanks for the heads up. I'll add the extra info once I figure out the problem.

I fixed it and added a counter to show your remaining characters.

For the interested, the problem was that the MySQL type is actually essentially the same as varchar(255). I bumped it up to text, so you can now store up to 65,536 characters.
