new user fields size

[Bomba]

hello,

i had a new user field to the profile, wich is something like a little personal presentation of the user, and i would like to let this field have more than 255 characters, cause i can't get this bigger than (varchar 255).

is it possible?
thanks

This is not possible, 255 is the max length for 'varchar'. Use type 'text' instead.

and in dp_field_definitions.php should i put "textarea", cause i currently have that new field as "text", than in 4images_user it's varchar255

should i change it to textarea and than to "text" in db?
thanks
