typing long answers

[Mick-Talbot]

Instead of the solidus/forward slash x2 in the bottom left hand corner, would it not be a better idea to have the words 'expand text box' or something similar?



I noticed it for the first time today and I would say that I am normally very observant.

This would help the newbies who write A very long first question about what sort of sentence they will be getting for accidently beating up a few people on the way home from the pub.

[Mick-Talbot]

And questions , obviously

It extends as you type. Why do you need instructions?

[Mick-Talbot]

Think about it a little more Tilly.


by the way, your roots are showing. ;0)

[baza]

Mick I think Tilly is saying you are not very observant or she is just winding you up.

You cheeky blob! My roots are well underground.

[Mick-Talbot]

It does mean you do not have to scroll back though, factor.

[jno]

scrolling is the only exercise I get all day; shy would I want to do without it?

[vivandorron]

I have scrolled through this thread and can't comprehend what is being discussed.

Ron.

[Mick-Talbot]

Ignore it ron.
apparently it is there in some browsers but missing in others.

[sunny-dave]

I blame the parents ...

[Zacs-Master]

They've lost me too Ron.

[mike11111]

4000 characters is more than sufficient, provided one does not repeat oneself.

[Tilly2]

I still need some feed back on my roots, Mick.

[vivandorron]

Mick...You should not have said to me "Ignore it ron." :-)

I have now established what is being talked about......... Click the Solidi on the bottom Right hand corner of the 'Answer box' (not Left as OP suggested)...hold and expand the box. However, it's not a function on all Browsers. It's activated on Google Chrome and Firefox but is missing from Internet Explorer.

Ron.☺☺☺
