OK I'm looking at it in Mozilla too and you're right, it doesn't see any linebreaks.

I'll tweak it.

OK tweaks completed. It adds one to the length for either a CR or an LF, as much as I understand those terms. It's the kind of stuff that baffles me.

As long as there isn't a platform/browser which puts CR and LF into a TEXTAREA when you hit return, then we're rocking and rolling.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

OK, this is what I get for not checking things thoroughly beforehand -

Ignoring your tweaks, John, IE always counts a forced return as two characters whereas Mozilla (which I normally use) counts it as one. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this before.

So, now, with your tweaks, the script works in Mozilla, but overcounts in IE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, dear. Perusing the November search strings (and it's early yet, folks), I find "bertiz agnes", "clex smallville slash fan fiction", and "joss erection vampire interview".

And I was running numbers ... fiddling to find out post sizes (including HTML). Longest post is 6038 characters, and I have no idea how that slipped past the code limits. The ten wordiest posters average 1190.5, 1188, 944.42, 863.5, 790, 737, 699.94, 647, 643, and 628.24 characters per post.

Nope. You don't make the top 30. To be honest, most of the top few posters have very few posts to their names ... they just came out of the gate long and then shut up.

Are these the top ten you've already mentioned, those who post the most; or these the people who on average post the very most characters in a single post?

t edit xpost, never mind t /edit

And who are they? I neeeed to know!

You're not in the top 30, either, little lizard.

I didn't think so! I have too many one-line posts.

I'm just an irrepressible voyeur.

t edit now, that would have been a more impressive line if I had managed to spell "voyeur" correctly, wouldn't it have been?
