I LOVE IT! Lol... The only improvement to the code I would make is to have it have an extra line break in the QR box :x... But I can do that myself ...

Good work IAN ..

Great mod Ian

How does it do for those people who copy/paste paragraphs of text?

OK, I just installed this hack surprisingly successfully on my first try. I do have one question though... Does anyone else notice a text display delay while typing and using this hack? Or is it just my computer?

It'll naturally cause a slight slowdown on any computer, since the portion of JavaScript that is used to count characters is executed every single time a key is pressed on the keyboard. It shouldn't slow down much though.

Nice mod, Ian

This was slowing down my PC, so anyone who plans on a large post (mine was 6000 characters), I reccomend you type it out before hand, and paste it in
