Small Message Fields
The small message field for typing posts on b3ta. WTF? Maybe its not such an issue for most, but I'm in the yellow circle club (over 40) and use ctrl+scroll wheel to increase the font size...

At a comfortable (for me) reading size, only the first paragraph of this crap post fits in the message field when actually typing the reply.

Stretch it then
There's a small 'stretch' tab to the bottom right of the message field. Grab it with your mouse and stretch it to embiggen your field.

Well I've got one.

Hmm - most odd
Must be a Mac thing. Or maybe Safari. Try Safari on the PC and see if that makes any difference.

Good work
Its there in Safari. I have not used this browser before so I will have a play.

I am grateful you have gone to the effort to assist. Top marks.
