Can't add more than 59 fields!

Hi,
I am finding that any fields I add after 59 are not saved.
How can I solve this?

Details:

I have only one field group, deployed on Users edit pages. Field types are only text, text area and tab; no repeaters.
I need to be adding around 90 fields in total.

Previously saw a similar problem, explained away as a memory limit.
Recently had my host raise memory in php.ini, for similar reason, maybe even for my earlier ACF reason.

php.ini in public_html now contains:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 3000
max_input_time  = 3000
memory_limit = 512M

I just disabled every plugin except ACF and it’s still happening (so I have turned some back on).
I am running a custom-developed theme.
There are no errors about this in error_log.

What can we do?
I need more fields than this.

Thanks.

The problem was max_input_vars.
I should have looked harder for the earlier thread, which I already seen, bearing the solution – http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/stuck-at-59-fields-not-saving-more/

max_input_vars = 10000;
