Word Count plugin

[Alia]

I write a LOT in forums. I want to know how many words I've written without copying and pasting the post into some other place over and over. 

Does anyone know of a plugin that adds a word count to the posting/editor window? Or has a button we click for word count?

If not, how hard would that be to make?

Thank you for your thoughts on this.

Working on this, I'll give you a heads up when it's done.

I think there is a plugin on mybb 1.8 mods site

Thanks, Fizz! Looking forward to it. 

Thanks, Eldenroot. I searched, but couldn't find ;(

You could try the Character Count plugin.
Beside the typed and remaining characters, in the version for MyBB 1.8 it shows a simple word count too below the editor.

Thanks, doylecc! I will try it.

Wow, doylecc!
That works perfectly! Thank you!

I love that it's a mouseover so it's not distracting at all. Well done!

I suggest a word count extension that might help your writing if you use Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...hfddflblcm
or this add-on if you use Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...count-tool


if you want a quick & reliable solution, you can go to its web version:
Word Count Tools or Character Count Tool

Wow, thank you, harryngh!
I never would have thought this would be an extension. 



What great resources. 
I already installed the extensions and look forward to using them.

I finally settled on a Chrome extension called Word Count, which works fine for most things on the web. I also have a doylecc's forum plugin called Character Count, which is automatic in the forum. He has it on his site, with some other interesting-looking plugins: http://mybbplugins.de.vu/. \

I really like Character Count a lot. It works perfectly and it's pretty much seamless. . 

Thanks doylecc and everyone for helping with this!
