Increasing the height of post box

Postby Aa Megami-sama » Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:44 pm

hi there,

Not sure if this idea has been proposed before. If it did, sorry.

I noticed recently a change has been made to the area where you type a post (either telegram to a nation or post on the RMB). It has been lengthened or stretched to fill the screen --this is a nice change. But it has also been shortened in height to about only 5 lines.

Previously, the number of lines was greater. Would it be possible to increase the height a little? 5 lines is too tiny. Everytime I write something I have to scroll and scroll to check it. For example, this forum post box has 17 lines before you need to scroll...which is much more display friendly.

Even a little increase, from 5 lines to 10, would be a vast improvement.

They made the lines longer though, so I'm guessing they shortened the height by the same amount they increased the width. So scrolling would be required after the same number of characters if that's the case.

I think it would be nice to be increased though.

In my opinion it would be a good idea to increase the height of the telegram box to at least 10 characters high so that it would be easier for some players to proof-read the text before hitting preview. Sometimes the message can be long and some users may like to have a taller text box to see what they have written.

Basically I approve this idea for Accessibility reasons.

Use Chrome and you can stretch the box to any height and length you want. 8)

This is not a solution, nor is it helpful.
Now the stars they are all angled wrong,
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn.
But I remember a message,
In a demon's hand:
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he does not return."

-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum"
