    Your screen shot doesn't show the reply box.

    More importantly (to me at lwast)...Why is the actual posting area so SMALL and fixed in size?

    Width or height?

    Width appears to be set. I cannot get it to stretch out across the screen.

    Height is broken. It is supposed to be resizable and is supposed to stick. Right now you can resize, but the new height doesn't stick.

    Methinks some of us are using one of the user style sheets that allow for flexible width.

    #jive-wrapper {
      width:100%;

    }

    I know that when I do, the TinyMCE window stretches nearly as wide as the browser window. <tests....yep>

    We should not be giving you feedback about the look of the forum while using hacks that defeat that look!

    But I suspect the OP is complaining about the height as you may have sussed out. I really appreciate the height, since I tend to post more code than talk - when I'm in my normal forums. Getting it to be sticky would be a plus, though.

    Perhaps to let you know that you have no need to be laconic?

    I'd sure rather have it too big, than way too small.

    But my suggestion is that it should be limited to default to the same width of the thread view column for those folks who haven't applied any hacks.
