I added this hack today, and it is working very well for me. Thanks!

One problem though... Most of the time (But not all) we are getting javascript errors in Internet Explorer.

A Runtime error has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?
Line: 390
Error: Unterminated string constant

I'm running vBulletin 2.2.9

Here is my showthread_replybox template:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var postmaxchars = $postmaxchars;
function validate(theform) {
	if (theform.message.value=="") {
		alert("Please complete the message field.");
		return false; }
	if (postmaxchars != 0) {
		if (theform.message.value.length > $postmaxchars) {
			alert("Your message is too long.\n\nReduce your message to 

$postmaxchars characters.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters 

long.");
			return false; }
		else { return true; }
	} else { return true; }
}
function checklength(theform) {
	if (postmaxchars != 0) { message = "\nThe maximum permitted length is $postmaxchars 

characters."; }
	else { message = ""; }
	alert("Your message is "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long."+message);
}
//-->
</script>

Can anyone help? I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination.

One last note: Even though the errors are appearing, the reply box still functions properly.
