Bug report. Character limit not displayed till too late

[Jenifur Charne]

My Profile – Tell us a bit about yourself…

The character limit of 200 is not being displayed until AFTER you try to post, if your post exceeds 200 characters.
It should be displayed before posting and count down as you type into the box.
Also that 200 character limit is far too short to actually type much at all.

Thanks Jenifur,

I was actually in a discussion with the developer about this the other day to get them to show the countdown while typing. I agree it would make more sense.

For now I’ve increased the limit to 512.

Are there other questions you think would be appropriate for the profile? That’s definitely a place we could do a lot of updates to make it more comprehensive.
