Great new feature when posting a reply!

When posting a new thread or a reply, take a look at the bottom left of the reply field; increase size / decrease size.

Awesome new feature!

How it is 'awesome'?

Seems to make no difference to final post when I use it right now.

Well duh... It would be pretty useless when only typing 2 lines of text wouldn't it

It is awesome FOR ME when I type a large reply as I can now see an entire page filled entry box instead of just 15 lines and need to scroll up and down a lot.

Not true, some of the most lengthy replies I have ever seen in FT come courtesy of ozstamps

I am sure he will have a use for it in the future

Thank you.

I never needed any special feature to read or type them either.

When some REALLY useful bells and whistles have been turned off to speed up FT, at the same time Admin adds "awesome" ones like this.

Must make sense to someone I guess.

1) The admins didn't "add" this, it is part of the upgrade they performed on VB this weekend.

2) This feature does not perform any database queries so does not increase the load on FT AT ALL. The function adds no more than one or 2 lines of code.

3) The FT tech staff have a really good reason for turning off some of those "bells and whistles" and have posted their reasons several times.

Sometimes, if you don't know what you are talking about, it is best to not talk at all

It's a simple java script that loads with the page and does not increase the server load.
