its because

when u use

bold , spoilers etc,

it send the letters higher or somthing.

so say u use 1500 characters

and add in bold etc

it will go over.

when you use a spoiler tho the letters of the word SPOILER that show up in the brackets are subtracted from the characters remaining though Lee.

same when you use bold or italics. the square brackets and the words inside are all subtracted

Happens to me alllll the time, but then again i think i am a talkbox so i probally write the most

I may be wrong...

But when i type i often leave alot of spaces for paragraphs, i think thats where it goes wrong.




for example i have just left 3/4 lines out, i think it doesnt accumilate the write numbter of characters when leaving paragraphs.



Cba to try it!

Yeah, Spoilers, IMG, youtube, B, U, I tags all are added.

Also a space and leaving paragraphs all = 1

Hmmmmm...........

I used to think this was why it was.

But I just tried it, and it doesn't look like it is!

It's a mystery!! (for now)
