Descriptive Problem Summary:
The textarea field for summary description does not have a maxlength attribute but the server refuses to save the post if its over 255 characters. This can lead to losing your post and having to rewrite it if you don't happen for some reason to be running an HTTP proxy which saves your POST requests(i happened to have one running :D)

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Type 256 characters or more in the optional summar description field
2. Get an "unable to save post to database" error

1) A maxlength attribute on the textarea so that the form doesn't send if it violates that maximum length

Actual Results:
Losing the text written in the form + an "Unable to save post to database" error
