How do I allow for more text to be entered into these 2 fields in the profile section?

Will I need to edit data in both 'Your Account' section and the phpbb 'Profile' section?

Disregard.

My question is this:

How do I allow for more text to be entered into the Occupation field of the phpbb forums profile editing section?

In you DB, find table nuke_users
A field which belongs to this table is user_occ.
user_occ should have varchar(100), a linear string, which you will change to text

Now, open your themes/fourms/templates/profile_add_body.tpl
and
modules/forums/templates/silver/profile_add_body.tpl

(changing them in both files is same)

find the following block:

Code:

<tr>
   <td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_OCCUPATION}:</span></td>
   <td class="row2">
   <input type="text" class="post"style="width: 200px" name="occupation" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{OCCUPATION}" />
   </td>
</tr>

here, change input control to textarea control.

that's all.

Good Luck.
