FEATURE - Make Text Field Bigger in Responses in Forums

Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I have a feature request on the forums that will make it easier to use for people responding to a posted question. Could we get a larger text field to type in when we respond to a post, like how when we initially create a post? I'll attach an example. Any responses longer than two sentences oftentimes gets cut off to where it's hard to see all of the information at once. It would be nice to at least I the corner at the bottom right corner of the text field be able to drag down to make the text field bigger so that I can see my entire text all at once.

 

Thanks,

Brandon Loshe

Yeah, that's what my feature request is for. If I reply to the original post, then yes, there is that thing at the corner that I can drag down. And I do agree, I'd rather not use the inline reply at all. The problem is once someone else uses the inline reply to something that I wrote, then I feel like I have to because it gets too confusing trying to follow the entire thread.

If you go back and edit your inline reply, you have a normal sized input field to work with.

The topmost Blue reply button gives you a  good sized input field like this one which can be extended by dragging bottom right corner downward.  See screenshot.

 

 

Inline replies are limited to a one line input field which is annoying.   Consequently, I try not to use the inline reply buttons.
