    Is it possible to make the text box for messages bigger when typing them?

    I know you can make the box longer, but wider would be very helpful. Seems to be worse on this laptop that has 1680x1050 screen that is only 15".

    Can it be done, or is it a pain in the arse?

    thanks

    The post reply and the quick reply box that you enter text into.

    When I quick edit a post, the box that I type in is about 3 times the length of this one, but only a few lines high, so something of that length, with adjustable height would be excellent...I hope that makes sense

    Edit: And, the box when I post a new thread could be made wider as well

    Yes, adblock pro. The reason being, that flash adverts send firefox daft on this laptop, resulting in 100%cpu.

    Ive just had a look at it with iex6 with no adblocker, and the actual typing space is the same as firefox, only there is a large flash advert next to it.
