community post limited to 100 characters ??

[#1]

I am trying to make my first post to the commmity and am limited to 100 characters in chrome, firefox and IE. 

<textarea class="lia-form-question-field-input lia-form-input-vertical" id="lia-questionField" name="questionField">Type your question here...</textarea>

That can't be right.

Thanks, Tod

That is only a search field where you can begin typing a short description of your problem and/or keywords to see if there's already a thread in the community similar to yours.  It's like a Google search box, in effect.  As you type your problem description, it will auto-suggest matching threads in the community.  If you like one of the suggestions, you can browse to it, otherwise, it allows you to start a new thread.  When opening a new topic/thread in the community, you get presented with a rich text editor window that allows MUCH more than 100 charactors.

HTH,

Clint
