    By "text box" I mean the thing you type into when you're posting a new thread or using the advanced reply. Is there anyway to make it bigger? (Mostly taller). I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be helpful when typing out long posts, especially posts that are formatted. It's actually mostly (for me at least) needed when I'm typing up an RP and trying to organize the post. Or when I'm trying to break down a long quote into smaller quotes and include more quotes in my replies (like in the KH sections where people quote interviews to answer other quotes for example).
    Is this possible?

    I don't know if it's possible or not, but if you're typing long posts, you can copy and paste everything into a Word document, write your replies/RP plot/etc., then paste it back into the text box. The only formatting you have to do then is BBCode, unless you manually type it in the Word document.
    That's what I usually do with long posts, so I don't really see a need for the box to be bigger.
    Though how much bigger are you suggesting?

    I thought everyone could make it bigger by pulling on the bottom of the right side of the box. There should be two little lines in the bottom right of the text box. Pull with your mouse.

    That should make it bigger. As big as you want, actually.

    Bottom right? I don't see anything like that. But there's two buttons at the top right that look like arrows(one pointing up and the other pointing down) that increase the size of the text box vertically. It's directly to the right of the "Check Spelling" button.

    I don't have lines, but there is a way to make the box bigger, just saw this now.

    Clicking on the bottom arrow will make it bigger, clicking on the top makes it smaller.

    Oh wow, I never knew this. Right above the text box where all the formatting buttons are. Yeah, there's a box that looks like [A/A] and two arrows for changing the size. This is exactly what I need xD thanks, Chev. This can be locked.

    EDIT: Thanks to Arch and Wolfie for showing me the button, too!
