I've actually had this problem for a long time (and it's been happening a lot) but I just felt like reporting it now, since it's actually getting on my nerves when writing feeds.

The character count for feeds is 500.

It seems that when I write under 500 characters, it still shows up with the following message:


I have used a character/word counter to see how many characters the feed I want to post has, and it's actually less than 450 in some cases.

I'm not sure whether this is a typo in the message (seeing as it might be 400 characters maximum instead of 500), or if it's just a minor bug in the system/code.

There seems to be a message popping up now or something, which wasn't there before:


But it still shows the incorrect word count, as the feed I'm trying to post has 486 characters.

Well, everything is a character, spaces, punctuation, etc. Are you counting those in with your 486?

Could you post it as a text so I can copy it?

"•" is a character that is merged out of three characters. It's actual size for storage is three characters.
And your tool probably didn't even count line breaks - they count as two characters (End of line + line break)

Nope, it counts the line breaks.
And I removed the "•" and replaced them with a ">" and I'm still getting the same message:

//Moved to Solved, as part of the big Bug/Complaint clean-up.

I was able to make a post with 1000 [yes, this was increased since the bug report] characters, ALT-code exclusives. There never was a warning and all 1000 characters were posted.
