Umm, it's always worked that way. It allows you to differentiate the reply
window from the main window.

When you size a browser window and then close the browser, the browser writes
its new size in either the registry or in an ini file. However since EUforum uses
javascript it sets the reply window to a fixed size when it pops up. Like Derek
said a few posts ago.

Do you really have a problem with this behavior?
