I was so sure I once used a hack for this but it seems not.
Does anyone know a good method to limit max characters per post for specific forums?

I want to limit a forum with comments in it to 500 characters and I can't see to figure out a way to do this.

thx

You mean like this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144375)?

Not sure if it works in vBulletin 3.8, however, as I have not been actively maintaining it.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
I'll give it a try(odd it didn't come up in search).
thx

Works with 3.8.x btw

Have you ever considered doing a character(s) left mod?
One that would show ex: 500 Characters and go down as the user typed out his or her message?

Nope - don't think I've heard the idea thrown around. It certainly sounds relevant to the modification though.

No problem thanks,
I found a java hack for the user profiles that could work, but I'm having the damnedest time locating the input code for the quick-reply editor. Would you know where it's buried?

Yes, that was it, thanks.
Unfortunately, I wasn't successful at adapting this MOD (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170323)to the QR box :(

Unfortunately, I am unable to take on custom work at this time.
