Category description being limited

[Bart]

My category descriptions are being limited for some reason, i would have a few lines then save and when i look back half of it has not been saved for some reason.

Any solution for this?

It is limited to 155 chars, as its used in meta description. If you must, phpmyadmin -> VL_categories -> cat_description -> edit field value 155, to 255

Now you meta description should be to long. Havent tried it there, but in head area try to include our new tag ( only for VL 0.8 )
{$meta_description}
becomes
{$meta_description, length=155}

Thanks for your help Basti!

I tested by adding {$meta_description, length=300} in the wrapper but it didn't let me make my category descriptions longer.

The MySQL change worked.

mysql 255, on page 300. The function is a limiter. Meta description longer than 155 and google complains
