How to increase character limit for textarea?

[chief_wolfinjo]

Hello

I am making a phpBB theme with options page, and now i have a problem with textarea field.

I want to have a ability that user can copy/paste the text in textarea field on options page, and when he clicks save button

that this text occurs at a specific location on forum. the function works but the problem is in character limit.

From what i can see max character limit is 255, but i need to increase it, and i dont know how

i have tried with maxlength="1000"

after that it allows me to input 1000 characters in textarea field but when i click save it gives me error, please see screenshot: http://prntscr.com/cl2lkm

and nothing happens.....

but if i input up to 255 characters then works normally...

so i hope you can help me with this, or do you have suggestion how can i do that ?

Thank you
