You mean, no way to adjust the *width*.

It looks fine for me with Internet Explorer and Firefox
on an 800x600 screen. The window is large enough to
show the full scroll bar for the edit box.

Back (ages ago) when I used to use Internet Explorer
I noticed it would sometimes get stuck on the idea
of popping up a smaller than desired window. This
had nothing to do with EUforum. It would do it on
just about any Web page, and there didn't seem to be
any reliable way to fix it. It seemed to simply be a bug in IE.

You've posted hundreds of messages and never complained
about this before. As you said earlier, this is a recent issue
that you've noticed on your machine. It doesn't seem to
affect other people. I haven't played with the window size
in many months.
