    Maybe this isn't possible but:
    Any chance of larger pm size capability for moderators? I need quite a size sometimes to quote and requote etc. when speaking to co-mods or troublesome meddlers.

    When I say pm size I mean - amount of text to be over 1600 characters, not a pm box over 70 pm's large.

    Just a suggestion.

    The software sets a textarea size based on your browser information (as opposed to a server side limit being set - that can be done, but I don't see it here). I can't see a browser configuration that would result in a 1600 character textarea being set. The closest appears to be IE which creates a 20x70 textarea.





    Upping the 20 to 30 might work ok.

    Hmm maybe it says 1400 characters when I post. Yea, 100 or so characters more (if that is how it works) is nicer for me on IE5 pc and iCab Mac. Would be a little helper for me and some I'm sure.

    Yeah, discussing stuff gets a bit annoying when you need multiple PMs or to edit down to the bare minimum to explain stuff.

    It's at 1500 atm i think
