  About this resource

  Compose Time adds a smart clock to the post editor that times how long a new thread or post takes to write. Each time is averaged out and saved to the user's profile to add a fun edge to forum posting.
  
  

  

  
  Ever been stuck at the editor? Spend too much time replying to posts? Need help pushing the reply button from time to time? This simple timer offers you and your users a remarkable amount of insight into posting habits all through the subtle tick of a clock.
  
  This simple addon gives no rewards and offers no fault, but reveals a new metric for your users to ponder and keep score of as they create new content in your forums.
