Just a random question, how come the text box area where you type your reply or new post is so small?

It's about the same size it is on most forums, maybe even a bit bigger. Because text boxes don't resize on smaller monitors. Some people might have small monitors, so it has to fit the smallest monitor likely to be found. That would be a 640x480. Although, this looks even smaller than that, I think they could bump it up a bit ant still fit in 640 wide.

I dunno man... it looks smaller than most forums I've ever been to, but maybe it's just my resolution. Personally, I think it would be a great deal easier if they extended it out to the right until it reaches the "font color" part, and maybe make it twice as tall.

I just wondered if there was a reason for it to be so small. I guess the resolution thing makes sense... I dunno if it was just me or if everyone else felt the same way though <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
