I'm not sure if such a thing is even possible, but is there a code one could program directly into a table that counts the words?
- Ayasha - 10-17-2011
Can't answer your question but that would be cool. *Is useless*
- Barrett - 10-17-2011
If it is possible, it would require scripting. And even then, it'd get pretty complicated making it "know" not to count any HTML/CSS/code/whatever as opposed to actual words. So hypothetically, yes, but I don't think you could implement it on the forum and it'd be hella complex XD
- Dawali Amara - 10-17-2011
Like Zero says, that'd require embedding or scripting - neither of which are enabled on this forum.
You'd probably also drown in the code and be completely unable to find your post in there. Word counting programs/scripts are (believe it or not) made from pretty complex code, so my guess is that even if it did exist it'd be seriously inaccurate if made usable for forum posts
An awesome idea, though, for shore! I am still sad that I cannot embed nyancat on neverending repeat circle of doom on Dawali's profile, but there ya go :p

Found a background gif that looped and made that part of her skin for a few days XDD. But. Yeah coding that would... well, not be fun :| It takes no time at all though to copy your post and put it in Word/Open Office or something. And there's always the 'Check Post Length' at the bottom of the post box to check your character length, which you could use before you put any of your tables in ;o - Anann Kelevra - 10-17-2011 http://www.wordcounttool.com like awesome - Bastion Hallow - 10-17-2011 'Souls has its own word count now. It came out in July: Here - Eris Eternity - 10-17-2011 Moving to Questions and Help. Essentially, yuh - too complex to add on the forum. I recommend the counter Katie D. posted, or the 'Souls counter. c: |
