I'd like to see a larger textarea for comments. Some places have it resize depending on how much has been typed into it so far, but I'd settle for one which was simply a bit bigger (or a setting).
Of course, whether this is actually a good idea depends on how much you want to encourage me to write essays in the comments. (The bigger input field only matters when I've written a lot and want to skim back for errors.)
You might want to try Chrome, if you haven't. Every textarea on a page has a little grip at the bottom right with which you can resize it to however large you want. Example: http://i55.tinypic.com/w8828w.png
Edit: As noted below by Spurlock and others, this works in all WebKit browsers, which I hadn't realized.
That IS nice. I've tried Chrome a couple of times and didn't take to it, but I'll put that in its "pro" column for the next time I'm thinking about trying it.
This is a feature of webkit browers in general. Which is to say, anyone who doesn't like Chrome could also use Safari.
As a related side note, Safari's "Reader" feature is a huge improvement for reading HPMoR.
Damn, I've been using Chrome since it was first released and I never knew about that. Thanks.
If you're a Firefox user, may I recommend It's All Text?
Ah, that will help! Thank you.
Man, I was all excited about that plugin and then I saw the confusing, ambiguous notes about whether it would play nice on a Mac. Now I'm spooked and not sure if installing it will break something on my computer.
The bottom-right corner of the comment text-entry box can be dragged to expand the box or change its size. Or is that not what you're referring to?
That is a browser feature, not a LW feature.
Browser feature to which browser? On Mac, it works in Google Chrome, Stainless, and Safari - it didn't in Firefox, but that's it.
All of the browsers you name are WebKit-based.
That would probably explain it.
Huh, I guess I'm spoiled. Apologies for contributing noise.
