[#5773] - Text Banners Limited to 10 Items in Banner module

In Joomla 1.5 I used a banner module to create a listing of text banner ads. Basically, the module would list about 18 text ads. They appeared as a simple list in the module in alpha order. If you clicked on each text ad (really just a company name) it would open that company's website. The advantage to doing it this way was a simple tracking method built in to the Joomla banner system.
I just tried to do the same thing in Joomla 3.36 and it limits you to a maximum of ten banners. In Joomla 1.5 you could type in your entry - in the case I used I had 18. In Joomla 3.3 you are limited to a pulldown that allows 1 - 10. I believe it would be beneficial to change the pulldown selector to the previous text box option. Thank you.

Thank you zero-24. May I ask why you don't care for the text box option? (Not a criticism as I am just trying to understand why it was changed from 1.5.) I am new to this and would love to participate more as the process is fascinating. Thank you again for your work.
I am curious too why @zero-24 does not like a text box option.
I prefer a text field for Count:
- a drop down option with 20 items seems not very efficient
- other modules, like Latest News, all have a text field for "Count"
- and what if you want to show 21 or more banners ;-)

Please provide a PR with the field type text and filter integer. Thanks!
