Having a character counter to see how many letters or numbers that you have typed on the forum.

It's rather annoying when you can't post due to having 1001 characters. Doesn't take long to fix it but even so it would be nice to see how much we're taking up.

The 'write a poem' thread which is very popular would benefit greatly from this!

Yes a good idea Squeezy!!

I know Ste would appreciate it as he posts the poem and gets messages saying that it wont post..then has 2 seperate them leaving the poems split up and sometimes on seperate pages!!

I think this is a good idea.

Would just make things a little bit easier and more professional, which is always good.

Yup, definitely a simple but effective idea. Nice one dude!
