Product descriptions not appearing

[crispin]

Product descriptions. It's been asked before, so why is this a problem? I enter text into a box, preview, and nothing. When I click install or update and then go back to edit, the text fields are blank. If posting on a forum works, why not oscMax v2.0?

I just looked in "Sticky: Category descriptions do not get saved."
Found the answer here. Sorry I didn't read the forum properly, and big thanks to blinkygab!

I'll post blinkygab's fix here anyway, because I encountered this same problem today and missed the sticky by going straight to a forum search:
