Things discovered by accident.

Postby Workingman » 04 Jun 2020, 13:22

I was writing a post when I noticed something down in the bottom right corner of the posting frame - the bit you type in to. I didn't have my glasses on so thought that it was something on the screen. A quick wipe did not remove it and when I scrolled the page it was still there in the bottom corner. Whatever could it be?

Hovering over it with the cursor it turned into a double headed arrow. Grabbing it with a left click revealed that the posting frame could be resized - larger or smaller.

The thing is.................... You are all now going to try it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's there when you are typing a post.

BTW Jo, did you get my email reply to your Pics one about Otley?

I can alter screen size by touch with my kindle Frank - seriously, I can't see it.

It does not alter the screen size, Kaz. But in answer to both you and Gal the normal posting box is big enough for most posts, but for longer ones, as often seen on the Family or Health boards, it pulls the box bigger down the screen. This allows the whole post to be seen whilst typing without scrolling.

I was just surprised that I had never noticed it before.
