Post Font colour chooser shrinks size of typing area
Manny,

I've been sending messages back and forth with another member and I noticed a change since you've migrated the site over. The area that the "Font Colour" chooser takes up is much larger. This shrinks the size of the box that you type into to the point where it's hard to compose a message.

Is there a way to shrink the size of the Font Colour chooser?

Jim

Yah, I find it annoying myself. I didn't plan for this so now have to figure out how the heck I turned on/added this feature so I can disable it.

Been tweaking the site all day with these little weirdities from the migration/revision.

Thanks!

Still working on it. Though I did notice a difference between IE and Firefox, which the later overly shrinks the message body entry field.

IE: "Font Colour" palette is about 1/8 size column of message body field
Firefox: palette is nearly the same width of message body field

Can anyone chime in on other browsers?

I'm using Firefox and yes, pallette is just about the same width as message body field. HOWEVER, if you go to the private messages, the message box is much smaller...only about 2/3rds the size of the pallette.

And, IE7:

It looks like this is a JavaScript editor and it probably was not tested on Firefox. There might be a setting on the admin of the editor somewhere that affects this.

Thanks for all the efforts, Manny. The new site is great.

Thnx for the graphics and confirmation. Yep, it's a Firefox/java scripting issue so far and been digging into the editor.js coding to see if there's anything I can do re: Firefox.

...still tweaking away...
