That should not be happening.

One thing you could try: Using your phpMyAdmin tool - change the mediumtext setting for that field to LONGTEXT.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Thanks.Is it cut off in the EZ Pages manager in Admin, or when the page is looked at in the public area?

Are you entering the data directly via EZ Pages, or cutting and pasting it from somewhere else?

OMG. You are right, kuroi. I was doing the cut & paste. And, that was the problem.
Thank you kuroi. Thank you, Kim.

Cutting and pasting can be dangerous. Often lots of hidden stuff gets carried along with what you wanted.

However, sometimes it's unavoidable. When that happens I usually paste it into a plain text editor such as Notepad++ first to lose any hidden data and then cut and paste from there into the html editor field.

You will not believe this.
So, now I am tying the text on the ezpage that I created instead of copy and paste. But sometimes I still got "error". I started deleting word by word and retying word by word. And, found out that the "word" is the problem.
So, I typed in the word "from" and I got an error. I changed the order of the word to "form" and it works. It bizarre.
I think there is a bug. And, I don't know how to fix.
I hope as I continue to type, the word "from" is the only "problem".

"FROM" is a keyword in MySQL statements. If your server has mod_security rules enabled to trap all words related to SQL statements, that could be what's preventing it from saving properly. You'll have to work with your hosting company to address that problem.

I called my hosting company and explained to them the problem and told them about the mod_security rules.
They made some changes on their end and it is WORKING NOW!
Thank you DrByte and everyones else who had helped.
