    Unable to resize reply window

    Hi Folks!

    Got a new computer running Windows 7 with IE9 and I can no longer resize the reply window. I was able to do so on my old machine running Windows XP with IE8.

    Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

    Derrr,

    I don't know what you mean by the "reply window" - I'm running Windows 7 with IE10

    I didnt even know you could resize it? Mine stretches the full width on my screen, pretty much, same width as the post "windows"

    Thanks Arlette,

    I don't get any resize handles - so, I guess that I can't do it - not that I've ever wanted to

    Re: Unable to resize reply window

    I see resize handles at the right end of the box, not sure if only admins and mods can see it. Shouldnt be so.

    Re: Unable to resize reply window

    Abousetta says that she can resize in both IE and FireFox - but I don't get the handles - maybe it comes with the canned responses??

    Re: Unable to resize reply window

    I get the resize handle but when I "grab" it with my mouse the cursor changes to the directional arrow (and I get the balloon tooltip that says: Drag to resize) but when I drag it nothing happens.

    The default size of the reply window is too small height-wise which is why I want to resize it.

    Re: Unable to resize reply window

    OK, I see what you see in Firefox Win 7 except that, as noted above, when I try to "grab" the handle to drag the window nothing happens.

    Yes, that worked!

    Can't believe that I didn't already try that.

    Thanks for hanging in there with me on this!
