Hello, since the other thread seemed to have died, lets try to continue the new issue. We have resolved that the "small message box" is linked to use joomla style, and that you can indeed change it when you are not using joomla style. But what about those of us that do use joomla's style? I have looked in the css file for my joomla template and added the class for fb_txtarea but still nothing... anyone else have any ideas?

Im currently thumbing through the php files to find a way to force the size of the box. Thats a better solution than none I suppose... Can anyone confirm which file has the html codes for replying or starting threads? The source of any page viewing a forum witht he message box shows [code:1]textarea class = "fb_txtarea" name = "message" id = "message">write.html.php (most likely in my opinion)
message.php (this had a string in it but showed no change when altered)
post.php (didnt view source yet)

does anyone have any idea what im talking about, does anyone have any other thoughts about this.... is anybody even reading this....

Im not sure exactly what you are asking, but I am pretty sure it deserves its own thread since this thread was started about a specific problem, and that problem has been resolved.

@dhgamers: Thank you very much, it is easy to solve and it works great!
I have been searching the web and I found a thread in another forum which still discusses the same difficulty. I decided to link it with your solution in this thread.
