The HTML that listforum sends to size the text area is ...

  <textarea wrap=soft wrap=soft rows="20" cols="77" name="message">

and apart from the duplicated 'wrap' attribute, there is not much wrong with it.
On my screen, I get a full 77 characters displayed in a line.

12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567

I have my font set to 'Courier New 16' and the screen set to 1024x768 pixels.
The text area width only starts to become a problem at font size = 20.

I suggest that you use a better browser to see if it makes a difference.
