How do I change the size of the text field for the user to type their posts? Reason being I have some users running outrageous resolutions and type really long messages, so the little text box seems "puny" on their monitors. Is there any way to make it longer and taller? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard for one of the gurus out there to answer my question. Thanks a bunch.

You set that in your "theme settings" in your admin panel, tho they can set their own in their displat preferences too

Probably better to have them change their own displays to suit themselves.

Have them go to:

My Home >> Display preferences, number of shown threads, languages, colors... (edit) >> TextArea Columns/TextArea Rows

and adjust to their liking.

Kaspar,

You might wish to post this document at your site.

Whatever you customize under the "theme" settings will only apply to unregistered users and new users. Existing users will need to make changes in their display settings under "My Home".

Hope that helps!

:)
