You're probably running into a variable limitation in your php install
(because there are so many fields on the mythweb channel editor page). The
fix is simple (although finding the correct php.ini file to put it in may
be tricky because there tends to be a number of them). Here's the variable
you need to change:
max_input_vars = 10000
In my setup the default is 1000, but I changed it to 10000. You may also
need to change the memory_limit setting, although mine appears to be at the
default 128M and it's working fine. Check your web server error logs if
it's still not working after making this change and restarting it.

Sincerely,

Karl
