So what is the point of this new box that lets you make it bigger and smaller when typing a new post or message?

It's confusing me, and why is it orange!?

Try posting a new head, there's and odd grey dotty bit in the right bottom corner, and when you click you can make the box mahoosive or tiny.

And in case I forgot to mention, it's orange.

I don't see anything

The spellchecker has changed too, it's all odd, why is it just me?

TDWP, I bet you have just upgraded/changed your browser. The changes you're talking about are not changes at the MN end. Some browsers do allow you to resize a text entry box, so that if you write a lot you can do so in a less cramped stylee, innit.

Thankyou yetmoretech.

I have just started using google chrome, so that may explain it. I'm going back to Firefox though, this is full of bugs and really annoying me.
