OK, that's what I put down in the .sql file, I think the sql file is the database, in fact I've tried both the database and the script before posting the previous message.

notify_mes TEXT(1000) NOT NULL default ''

Jared, can you just copy and paste the code you entered so I can just use that?

Nah, I replaced that and it seemed that I need to change more things elsewhere. I checked the php script and reckon they in fact had given us a huge field box, its just the database or somewhere else need to be modified. I think during the construction of this script they intended to give webmasters a little bigger field as the current one is too small for any messages. Got suggestions or clues? post them here!

See you around!

I agree that the ad guestbk script is pretty easy to use and good in general. I find it quite handy to use.

look forward for the new forum,

Do you mean editing the sql file? I saw a couple of 'Type=MyISAM' in the sql file, are you saying that I should change that to 'Type=text'?

This is the code:

I changed the 'varchar' above to 'text', but nothing changes. Gimme some clues pls!

Cheers,
Sam

Thanks Jared and nl2dav. I found that varchar does have a limit of 255 bytes. I want to know more about changing to text as you mentioned. I replaced 'varchar' with 'text' and I thought that wasn't what you mean. Can you tell me which file(s) I have to change?

Hi guys, I've searched the boards several times and could only find marginally relevant info on this question: How could you send longer email notification to people that signed your book? The guestbook admin doesn't allow anything longer than a few sentences. (you can type as much as you want but the email sent is truncated) I've read another thread that other people are having the same question and it was unanswered there. If you have any clues please let me know. Thanks!

Sam
