<mod info>
When posting or modifying a message, sending an instant message... this mod will tell you how many characters you have left to input.

This mod is used on my gaming news site http://www.gamerzalliance.com Please post any problems you are having in the proper board at the YaBB.info site. I will not answere any emails/pm's for support. I will only support this on the proper board.

I coded this mod with 1.4.1 un-modified files. Please use Boardmod SE to install this modification. You can download Boardmod SE here http://boardmod.yabbforum.com/downloads.php If you like to manually install the modification. Just open the modification with wordpad, or similar text viewing program and follow the boardmod code scheme.

(I will attach an already modded files just in case you are too lazy)

This mod includes the above files "pre-modded" and a boardmod file. If you are to lazy or don't know how to code the file... Just upload the "pre-modded" files to the Sources directory.)

Only one varable to change: (maybe)
If you changed the "Maximum Allowed Characters in Posts" in "Forum Preferences and Settings"
Scroll to the very bottom of post.php and find:

   <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
      displaylimit("document.postmodify.message",10000)
   </script>

Change the 10000 in the above script (default setting) to the amount you have set in forum Preferences and Settings.

The mod updates three files:
Sources/InstantMessage.php
Sources/ModifyMessage.php
Sources/Post.php

You Welcome, enjoy!

previewing before posting produced a java error

[Nemesis]

I tried and dont get this problem...
Did you manually install the mod or use files I put with it?

[mediman]

i tried to install your mod manually (hoping my skill is high enough  ) i dont know why the prob appears! maybe it´s not compatible with compuart´s speedmod coz thats the only mod i installed for testing!

mediman

i try to use your files in my testboard!

[Nemesis]

If you used boardmod I fixed a small bug with my boardmod tag. If you did the codes manually should be no problem.

My mod don't even touch compuart boardindex so that should not be an issue. are you using complete 1.4.1 files or selected update files. Cause it seems like no one esle is having this problem. Anyways let me know, good luck.

[mediman]

i´ll make some tests! compuart´s boardindex thingy has nothing to do with that bug, but maybe the browser! win2k and ie 6 make trouble with java!

btw: i never use boardmod

i let you know if it works when i use your premoded files!

Sounds good cause those files are straight from my site. It is what I am currently using at GamerzAlliance site. I use XP and IE6. I get mix of all kinds of browser/os'es there also. So far no one esle came across this.

Change the 10000 in the above script (default setting) to the amount you have set in forum Preferences and Settings.

can't we use that variable from Preferences and Settings inside the javascript? that way it'd automatically update the limit in the script

[Nemesis]

I'll see what I can do with that on the next update.
