Text editor for postings only shows 3-4 lines

In the lower right-hand corner of the text input there is a small triangular icon (circled in attached screen shot).  If you click and drag this you can resize the input box.

This works for both Firefox and Safari in Mac OS.  I have not tested in other OSs/browsers.

You can resize by dragging the lower right corner of the text input box on Safari/Chrome in iOS too.

Thanks for pointing that out.

But it’s an unusual and well-hidden feature that the great majority of users will miss – including me, and I’m a web developer that has often implemented online editors.

I can’t see any downside to setting the default size larger. The only thing that’s below it is the footer, and everyone knows where to look for that, so it’s not as if a larger editor would be hiding important content.

+1 on making the default size larger. I’m curious if there is a particular rationale for making/keeping it smaller?

This is an easy fix. Once we finish the more critical issues, we’ll try to implement this next week!
