Is there anyway to change the size of the data entry window that appears after you hit "New Topic" or "Reply"?

I've combed the settings and searched the forums, but have found nothing.  :(

Any ideas?

How are you wanting to change the size?  Wider?  Shorter?  Thinner?  Taller?

I'd like to see the text box a bit taller so you don't have to scroll through your replies.  Perhaps have it adjust according to the length of post?

Ben Dragon

Yes, that's it. Too much scrolling.

Lots of width, but not much height. I mean width is good, but length has it's merits.  Ahmm...

Ideally I'd like to see an option to adjust the height, but a hack n' tack will do it...

I mean... I'm not hard to please... just ask my wife.  8)

In Themes/yourtheme/style.css, look for:

/* The main post box - this makes it as wide as possible. */
.editor
{
width: 96%;
}


Make it:

/* The main post box - this makes it as wide as possible. */
.editor
{
width: 96%;
height: 20em;
}


(that's 20 lines long, or should be.)

A one line, two word fix. It's hard to get better than that. :)

As you no doubt know, it works like a charm.

I thank you good sirah.
