Then i press resync button and quess what ?
NO...this will resync the tables back to original .def files. You need to also add the new field in your Links.def file or whatever associated .def file to the table you are "updating".

Dah... some questions in my mind? Is this good or bad ? Will the backup be good ? or
It should read LONGTEXT in your editor.cgi script. If it reads CHAR, it means that you have resynced the table back to the original .def file.

btw. if i use longtext i don't (can't) have to have a lenght is that right? What's the differences between text and longtext?
Correct...although in terms of limiting data in your tables, it would be wise to set a limit since people could abuse that field and your database by inundating your database with extraneous data.
