Hello everyone,

Hi
Interesting tool mate! You previously made another userscript! Why not merge the two somehow if possible?!
As for me, I honestly don't need such tools, I just write as I please.
If users were counting words/characters using this thing to fill their sig quote that would mean they would stop being a natural poster. There is a possibility that they would fill that 300 characters count and stop there.

Just my two cents. Wink

Anyway, good job mate! Keep building these tools. Wishing u good luck.



Anyway, Royal Cap brother, this extension of yours will be more useful when other people's posts characters won't be count I mean including and inside the "quote".

For example, it is already showing 1127 characters even I didn't put a single character.

Isn't that the tricky part? If it were an individual comment it should work just fine. But when we are talking about multiple quote/mentions with complex bbcodes that's just one hell of a messy subject. It would be hard for the userscript to separate those two. Undecided



I don’t know if this will be any help for me, but I can say for sure JJG might need this.

He might see errors with this tool. Character limit exceeded. Please write less. I wasn't designed for 10,000 word novels, LOL  Grin

As for CM, I agree, it would be useful. But we have to consider what Crypto Library said (see his reply).
