Hi, I appreciate all the help you guys provide but this issue was overlooked when I last asked about it and the topic closed without giving an answer.
I need to increase the number of allowed characters in the "About Me" field in the member profiles. It is currently limited to 200 characters and i need to make it unlimited but I can't find where to reset the field length. Please look at the attached image and you will see it is limited to too little information.
By using Firebug I can see the piece of script that controls the numer of characters but can't identify where it is in the program.
This is the piece of script I believe needs to be modified but I can't find it. I want to make the field accept a minimum of 1000 characters or better still make it unlimited.

In looking at your Community Members Profile on your website i noted your field was set to 1000 characters.. This is a copy of the script from your website..
- Don't say feature not working. Instead, explain what you tried and what was the outcome.
- When you think you found the bug, try to replicate it on a fresh Joomla.
- When looking for support always provide temporary Super Administrative access to your site. We will ask for it anyway.
- Help yourself and
read documentation
which can give you answers to almost all questions you may have
