Dynamic Word Count for Quick Reply and Advanced

[wildmaven]

I really can't believe this was not a feature. Every RP forum out there wants a word count in the Quick reply box and the Advanced Reply box. The current Word Count plugin does not count as you go. You have to copy and paste your text into that box to find out the count. 

In v4, there was a character counter just for the signature box in our profiles. Why can't we have a word count for our forums without a plugin?

I know that face!!

When we had a couple of word counter plugins in V4 the posts of our members jumped dramatically up from an average of 150 to more like 300-400 words per post.

One of those codes was from Wormo and even awarded trophies to the post. It was great for the RP and a good gauge of quality writing.

I really really miss it.

Hi There!

This is in the progress of being developed, they have already done it for the Advanced Reply.

This can be accomplished with a plugin.

The reason we removed character count is because we increased the reply to something like 62,000+ characters. You don't need a character count warning you that you're about to max out anymore, because that rarely ever happens ever any more. I understand that some RP forums may have used that for other purposes. But it can be done with a plugin and is no longer a needed feature for every forum.

Sorry but we won't be adding this feature at this time.

Thank you.

Thanks for replying, Ryan Roos . No worries. The plugin I found works very well, so I'm happy.
