Answer 1

Edit the file qa-include/db/maxima.php and change the value of the variable QA_DB_MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH from 12000 to a bigger value, e.g 20000

    'QA_DB_MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH' => 20000, 

This file has maximum values for many variables. You can change them as per your requirements.

    'QA_DB_MAX_EMAIL_LENGTH' => 80,
