Advanced Edit/Post Suggestion

One thing I've found a bit frustrating is the width of the advanced edit edit/post is limited, where as the "quick" edit page auto-adjusts to the width of your browser window.

On the flip side, it's nice that the advanced edit page has the ability to expand, vertically, your post, but it gets quite maddening having to deal with so much wraparound, especially for things like the challenge list threads for which most people are editing often.

I'm sure I don't need a visual, but I made one anyways. It is located here.

Always slightly bugged me too. Seems like a silly difference, and maybe an easy fix.

Any comment from the powers-that-be? Is this something that could be implemented? It is really quite annoying.

I made it 100px wider. Is that good? I can't make it fluid, and I can't really make it any larger then that without running into problems with smaller resolutions.

Hey, I'll take anything I can get. I was hoping it could be made fluid like the quick edit page, but since you can't, I understand the issue with people with small monitors and/or large resolutions.

Maybe some future update to vBulletin will allow for a auto-adjustable advanced edit window.

Thanks!

Has it already been widened? Can't you make it even wider and get rid of the spacing on either side of the box? (Or have "Logged in as Username" over it, not to the side).

I tried to view the source but for some reason couldn't.

Yes, it's already been widened, and:

Wow, the things I miss out on using a Mac. Apple is wacky and allows the user to resize text boxes all by themselves. Maybe you should download Safari, they make it for Windows I think.
