You know how we can only type 60000 characters? Well I think there should be a counter that shows how many more characters can be typed. That way if we wanted to type something long, we'll know how many characters we have left.

>Implying you'll even type that much.
You'll only type that much in RP, I guess. And even then, the post (iirc) tells you if you exceeded the limit with x characters. EDIT: No, my bad. I just copied Wikipedia's largest article 2 times, and it just timed out. Last edited by Blitzamirin on Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:57 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

iirc it just times out if you copy and paste something and exceed the limit.
And imo a character counter would be more annoying than useful. Every post you would just see the number rise and decrease. |

No, I think it's quite a good idea. Perhaps it should only show in Full Editor and below the box that allows you to type.

Why not a notification like the image thing? In red, and on top of the post.
"You have exceeded 60,000 characters by x characters." |

I'd rather like to know how close I am to the limit

I feel like this would actually be helpful, I get paranoid when typing up huge pieces of writing on here and am unsure if it'll go through.

Here's a rule of thumb. 20 pages of near fully typed in MSWord is roughly 50000 characters. And trust me, I know this from experience. _________________  |

if you go past the limit, getting to 0, no matter how far over the limit you are, you only have to remove one letter to get back to 1.
imo it should just go into negatives. |

Broken Spanish eeeeeeeeee.
It's kinda nice. I don't exactly notice it, so it doesn't really distract. Not bad. the implementation was greater than I hoped. |
