Save post after exceeding character limit.

Okay, so I recently created a thread. It was more then 1500 characters which is the length we cannot exceed. The problem is after clicking create topic it deleted the whole post. I'm suggesting it should maybe save the post instead of fully deleting it. Us actually re-writing a long text that we have wrote can cause some of us to get angry. I could have maybe made it shorter. 😊

Yes! I agree!
Though, I have gotten by by going back.

@Meixiaotian
Yeah, it was quite awkward. My eyes got huge, I didn't feel like re writing it. Yeah that works also, by going back doesn't save everyone post due to everyone using different browsers. ☹️

YES.

I also think it should say how many characters there are like it does for wall comments, so we know whether we're exceeding it or not. If I write a long post, I'll usually put it in Word to see how many characters it is, but this would be convenient as well. 😊

@ladybugheart
Hey, it does shows how many characters your using when posting on someone wall. It says "0 / 140" in a shaded gray text, so you may only type up to 140 characters.

@fakeworld
Yep. :] I think they should show the characters for forum posts and topics as well.

@Ladybugheart
Exactly, that'll be more then helpful. It'll notify us when were exceeding the limit then simply deleting our post.
