HELP!

Title says it all I guess but I am a
computer nimwit and can't see any feature on the BBS that will allow me to enlarge this here small message box that I'm typing in.

Hence this post has probably come out as a bit of a higgledy-piggledly mess -
sorry.

You need to put some spaces in the text for it to wrap, otherwise you will naff up the thread and make everyone scroll.

If you stick to arranging the letters in words you should be ok.

I was just posting something and was also thinking that the window to post was a bit small - can you consider enlarging it?

And if one is replying to a particular thread/post can that be displayed in for referral purposes?

MONSTA!

I can make the message box bigger but I need to do some silly stuff to cope with IE and Netscape as in Netscape the box is 'kin huge for the same number of characters.

I could display the thread below the box I guess.
