Ouch. This is what I see.
I hit the little preview button (looks like a computer monitor) on the bottom right before I post, if I’m writing something big. That lets me see it all to proofread. I also only get 6 lines in the edit window on my phone.
WTF tool are you using there @Darren_Garrison? My phone experience is like @needscoffee’s.
No tools or plugins involved. I use Sam’s Simple theme, if that has any relevance.
(My phone has a 6.79 inch screen that is 1080x2460.)
Typing this now to see and my reply window is half the size of my phone screen. It only shrinks to that tiny size when I click “Done.”
Do you know what theme you’re using? (I can’t find where to see my theme while on my cell phone, although I feel like I used to be able to find it without opening up the laptop. Sigh. )
I don’t know. I don’t see any way to find that information on my phone.
Oh wait I found it! Under my profile I have to scroll all the way to the right to see the Interface tab. I am also using Sam’s Simple Theme.
You go into your settings, under the gear icon. The list at the top, with account, security, profile, etc? Drag that line of options to the left to expose more. One of them is “interface”.
Thank you! I didn’t realize I could drag that line.
I use Straight Dope Light.
Changing my theme to Sam’s Simple didn’t change the size of my text box.
I have an Android phone (Galaxy 22). Do you two perhaps have iPhones?
Nope, Motorola Stylus 5g.
Huh. I’ll poke around more tomorrow. I can’t imagine why the difference.
You get the big text box without doing anything?
Right. Until this conversation I didn’t know anyone saw it differently.
So strange. @LSLGuy, any idea what’s up with this?
I started a new thread on this.
Great! I was going to attempt one tomorrow after I fired up the computer (if I remembered).
Makin’ a livin’ the old hard way
Takin’ and givin’ my day by day
I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin’ the line (draggin’ the line)
aceplace57 has had two dedicated pit threads over 10+ years. And a couple of mentions upthread. Generally he’s viewed as a clueless idiot almost too stupid to operate a keyboard, but at least he’s very opinionated. OTOH he seldom picks a fight or says anything moddable. Since pig-blind stupidity is apparently a protected class around here. Anyhow, here’s his latest addition to his stupid oerve.
We’re discussing the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which many people lived through the bad parts of. And then he drops this turd: https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2024-hurricane-season/1003076/298
The next 30 posts are people pressing the edges of what can be said in MPSIMS about this festering carbuncle of our community.
Thank you for this sentence.
On the bright side, he said he won’t pay as much attention to the next hurricane, which can only be good for the rest of us.
