Well there have been no complaints in the last few days so I thought I would invent some myself! Smiling
- I am currently working on a few sections such as the members links directory, news and contact pages.
Sadly however, these are fairly low priority as I am currently in the process of changing jobs and working on the beta for What Next?.

Thanks for being patient.

This textarea is too small on a Macintosh.

This goes to the Bigtalker programmers:
Why dont you create different versions of the textarea for different OSes and Browsers and insert the right one depending on the http_user_agent?

Later,

Hi,

sometime ago I mentionend that I think this input field is to short.
I think it isn't the problem Malte was thinking about,
but if you just could make this box longer ?
Maybe 10 rows instead of 6 ?
And it's very hard to enter samples at a width of 36, too.
I would go for at least 50.

textarea name="post" cols="35" rows="6" wrap=virtual
->
textarea name="post" cols="50" rows="10" wrap=virtual

ciao

Hey, if someone comes up with a complete solution, I'll give you credit on the bigtalker.com site with a link. Also, I need the solution to be in perl. No javascript please.
