[SlitheryDee]

Wow there's so much space underneath these words.


It feels...somehow liberating.

Less confining.

I

Like

It

a

lot.

 

[IronWing]

It will be handy for posts with multiple pics.

 

[SithSolo1]

I don't have the arrows, I just have two diagonal lines in the bottom right corner of the box I can drag to expand and contract the box. I wonder if its browser or OS dependent.

What the hell is that? I clicked "Go Advanced" for the reply and don't see anything like that. You're not talkin about being able to resize the "Message" reply box right?

 

[CraKaJaX]

^

yes he is. or at least that's what my responses were referring to....

I don't get that in FF.

 

[l0cke]

I don't get that in FF.

It's in Chrome

As for OP's feature, it's only in quick reply.

edit: just kidding

 

[IronWing]

As for OP's feature, it's only in quick reply.

It's in advanced view as well.

 

[Ruptga]

I never noticed that either, I always just go advanced because I'm an advanced kind of guy. Or so I thought, now I see I wasn't really advanced and my entire world has been shattered. Thanks OP, you asshole.

 

[IronWing]

It's invaluable for replies in P&N where one wishes to have an entire rant in view at once so that one can insure that one's own sage reply will cover all points made.

 

[l0cke]

It's in advanced view as well.

Oh, I see it now.

I wonder how long that's been there.

 

[IronWing]

Oh, I see it now.

I wonder how long that's been there.

At least since this morning.

 

[DrPizza]

At least since this morning.

Since the beginning of vB.

 

[clamum]

I'm using Waterfox but yeah it's in Chrome as well. I've always thought of that feature as browser-based (rather than dependent on the website) but I guess I'm not completely sure.

 

[Humpy]

Frankly, I think the feature is offensive and should be removed.

Some posters here have it bad enough just trying to come up with a rational reply that sufficiently fills the default text box without imparting a sense of inadequacy. That there is an option to

Spoiler

embiggen the box

is hateful and clearly intended to mock the less able and less intelligent. To put it in terms that those people can understand, it's total bullshit.

To promote fairness and tolerance I demand that the reply box be replaced with an innocuous selection of emoticons that gives everyone an equal opportunity to reply to the OP without the needless suffering brought upon us by the use of words.

Who is to say that means the same thing to you as it does to me? And what if somebody selects the ^_^? Imagine the shit storm that would cause.

This phrase makes me feel insecure about my penis size. I demand you remove it and refrain from using it in the future.

Okay, your penis is removed.

All of those controversial emoticons must be removed.

I can feel the mocking hate radiating from my monitor.

Shit, now I have to "self-identify" as something.
