    Typing input field is way way way too wide. Have to scroll sideways..

    Which template do I use to change the width of the message input field? This is way too wide for my three computers....all set with different resolutions. I have to scroll sideways to type and then scorll back to hit the submit button.

      Are you using netscape? If so it is the styles in headinclude causing it.

        I got around the problem like this:

        open your phpinclude template and add this code:
        Code:
        if (ereg("MSIE",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))
        	$textareacols = "70";
        else
        	$textareacols = "35";
        Now open the various templates that have the overly-wide textarea, and replace the COLS="xx" attribute for the <textarea> with COLS="$textareacols"

        All fixed

          Okay I went into newthread, newreply, editpost and changed the 60 to 40 in the text area. This didn't change a thing. Yes, I'm looking at this in netscape...but I also use IE and the problem is there too.

          Would it make a difference changing the text area using the phpinclude idea as Kier suggests than what I've done above?
