vPostBoxResize

Link to Mod

This mod adds two small arrows left to the textarea, which allow the user to increase or decrease the height of the postbox.

The in/decrease in size is exponentially, which seems more convenient than linear growth.

See the screenshot to get an idea of what it looks like. It's simple, clean, and very handy to have when writing particularly long posts.

The mod will also adjust the initial height of the textarea for long posts.

Tested with 1.1.2 and 1.1.3, but should work with earlier versions, too. Only works with default theme, and any other theme that doesn't override the Post dialogue.

Aw DAMNIT, I didn't notice there was already a mod like this up there, sorry for that...
ah well, I like the interface of mine better, and it adjusts the initial height. Heh, feel free to delete if it's too similar.

Good mod. Can you make it so that the screen doesn't jump back up to the top when you resize the box?

[Abangyarudo]

the arrows are not displaying in what files are the links to the arrow images.

[L.G.S]

You're probably using a custom theme, just upload the images to your images folder of that theme.

[Abangyarudo]

yes it is and thanks I got it working.

Great mod! What about adding the function to the quick reply box?

Yes!

[Valodim]

well the point of quick reply is so users can spare one click for one-line-replies and the like. it's not meant for longer posts

[L.G.S]

Yes but it would be nice as an option if they cannot read all their post at once.

[Valodim]

well they can use the post dialogue for that.

aaanyways, updated to 0.92:
- inline edit's initial height is now adjusted to post length
- inline edit got resize-arrows
