Greetings smile.gif
I would like to suggest on something about the Add Reply function.
How about modifying a size of the reply window, like longer or increase the height and width , like showed below?

if we go based on this
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp

there are still 14% using 800x600.

if we go based on goldfries.com (which are mostly M'sians and probably from LYN too)

no 800x600 users at all!! but still that doesn't mean we exclude them eh? biggrin.gif

note that what you type and actual output could be different. it depends on the fonts and all.

you could align your lines and characters to try making an ASCII drawing here but output surely can change. so erm......yeah that's it. my 2 sen.

hehe of course la. just that not many people know that.

anywa let wKkaY consider. smile.gif (to widen this input box is a piece of cake anyway)

for me, i find that the box is fine (using 1680x1050, not a problem. not that many of you write lengthy replies in the first place. tongue.gif)

if i need to write long replies and all, i'll just type on some text editor instead. biggrin.gif

EDITED : wKkaY, i noticed that the emoticons were housed in TD tags. smile.gif so i think what can be done is reduce the TD width for emoticons then the width of the input box could be increased a bit without sacrificing 800x600 users.

well, just a thought.

5% total revenue is usually the cut off point for a minimum support when cooperations decide to cut down different divisions to save cost... the calculation usually goes beyong this as they need to take into account the division expenses, pre-tax net profit, etc...

but given the minimal number of users using the fossil resolution, i recommend that we increase the quick reply box for the benefit of all...

hehe. at the time of my post i thought kalakatu requested to have a wider fixed width. wink.gif that's why thought of 800x600 users and reducing TD with for emoticons. tongue.gif

now i need to get used to the huge text area on 1680 width monitor.
