Forum Post character count issues

[محروم.كوم]

Hi,

One of our members is finding a problem with the character count when making long posts, the limit is set to the default 10,000 characters, he says that the [B] and other codes is counted as characters which wasnt the case in VB3.8, anyway this is what he is telling me.

"I wanted to use some bold and colour to differentiate between names and positions etc, and having [ B ] included in the character count made it quite prohibitive.
Now in the new version of the site, the character count seems to jump all over. I noticed it in particular I would post one day, edit it the next, and the character count had changed vastly so I would have to delete lots of text"

Has anyone had similar issues with this?
