How can I increase the width and length of the message post box and also for the quick reply box? It's quite small. I have a PunBB.

.... it's now 4 days and no answer. I'm not trying to rush but this is important and just need the code for increasing the width and length of the posting message box and reply box. I don't know how else to explain my question and also provided pics for reference.

Am I asking in the wrong section? where else should I ask, because I couldn't find the answer through the search button.

Hello,

I don't think it is a CSS bug. There must be something wrong with the templates.

Have you made any changes in viewtopic_body template? If they are not very important, try deleting them and see if the bug is fixed. Make sure you take backup of the code before you delete it.

Well, it's always been small since I changed the style and version (now is PunBB). I don't think it's a bug or anything, and I have made no changes in the vietopic_body.

I just want to know how I can increase the size (width and length)?

Well, I don't think it is a CSS bug since I tested your CSS on my forum and it works fine.

Here is a fix that ma help you...

Code:
.frm-set {
width : 800px !important; /*-- Increase width here -*/
margin-left : -50px !important; /*-- set margin if needed -*/
}

thanks, it was able to shift a bit and s ize is still the same. I was also able to change the width amount some and the margin-left. But when I did, the "attach file" area located under the "Post a reply" area is pushed off from the board on the left side. Heres how it looks with the new code:
Code:
.frm-set {
width : 800px !important; /*-- Increase width here -*/
margin-left : -50px !important; /*-- set margin if needed -*/
}

The quantity amount I also tried changing, to make post size bigger, but the words only pushed off the board even more.
Code:

.frm-set {
width : 860px !important; /*-- Increase width here -*/
margin-left : -21px !important; /*-- set margin if needed -*/
length : 20px !important; /*-- Increase length here -*/
}

and got this
Length Of Post Box Longer? Change12

I don't know how to prevent the words from being pushed off the page when I increase the posting width? The length wasn't able to increase either...

Well, I had to delete the code because when I checked the Members' page listing all members, it had somehow shifted their avatars and some words almost completely off the table.


How can I just increase the width then, please?

Is there another code that I can try or a site that can be suggested of where the code may be located to enlarge without shifting the text from the board? What about increasing just the length?

And what about any code for the Reply box, please? thank you.

I provided all of the information along with pictures, I just want someone to please help me with my answer on how I can increase the length of the message post box and also for the quick reply box please? My members omplain about the size but I don't know how to fix this.
The width did increase with this css code, but it also shifted all of the contents off of the board even with the slightest increase too. If there is another css code to increase width or is this the only one?

But, if there is no css code for width, I would like to know how to increase the length please please pretty please?
