<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's seems you are using previous version of machform (1.2) . In this version check box text limited to 255  character. You have 2 option to fix that problem :&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;1. Upgrade you machform to 2.x version&#60;br /&#62;
2. Change machform &#34;ap_element_options&#34; table data type.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you consider yo change table data type, you can try to following this steps :&#60;br /&#62;
- go to MySQL administrator/control panel&#60;br /&#62;
- run this query in there&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;alter table ap_element_options modify &#38;lt;x&#38;gt;option&#38;lt;x&#38;gt; text;&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It will change data type to &#34;text&#34; and make sure you replace &#38;lt;x&#38;gt; tag to back ticks character
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Machform Rocks!!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am using it for a customer to create online surveys. The problem I have run into&#60;br /&#62;
is field entry size limitations.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here is a sample survey : &#60;a href=&#34;http://solomonstoolbox.com/semlevsurvey.php&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://solomonstoolbox.com/semlevsurvey.php&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As you can see Im using the check boxes to do most of the survey, but the system limits the Text that can be entered (to create any given question.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is there a place I can increase this capibility?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks in advance!
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
