The new message reply box

Johnboy2978 · Nov 20, 2007

Is it just me or does everyone have this teeny tiny box for a reply now? It's really annoying.

DoofClenas · Nov 20, 2007

yep, it is smaller than other forums...

Sideburns · Nov 20, 2007

it's sucky. let's fix it back to normal.

Battou · Nov 20, 2007

Mine is fine, actually it's bigger than PL's reply box

*EDIT*
How much bigger can it get

Well, Battou, that is the "Go Advanced" size, but the Quick Reply Box IS tiny ever since some parts of the forum have been "patched" of late.

There are two sets of arrows on the top right of quick reply which increase or decrease the size of the text box....

lostprophet · Nov 21, 2007

yeah but that only makes it taller and not wider.

Clicking on the SWITCH EDITOR MODE button (the one with 2 A's) makes it a bit longer

but I'm sure it was a lot longer before

I agree. I don't like the tiny little box.

I was thinking I was the only one who noticed that. It feels very strange when typing.

Sorry, folks - it is as Corinna mentioned above: Karissa ran a vBulletin patch recently, and the smaller Quick Reply box was a direct outcome - we don't know why. It functions (that's the main thing) but the dimensions were buggered. She will have to manually adjust it, if that's even possible - and it may be a while before it's resolved. In the meantime, you might adjust it as best you can with the methods described between Matt and LP.

All other functions appear to have been unaffected by the patch. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I agree with all others that the box is horrible. maybe it has been adjusted for handheld devices with small screens

I'd assume there there was an option in the skinning part of VBB.

You'd assume that, but if I want to amend that sort of thing in the skins for my b2evolution blog, you have to get into the PHP files and work out which bits of the CSS you have to alter.
