Resize Quick Reply Editor to Mobile-Friendly Size

[heyzeus909]

The size of the message box that I'm typing in right now to start this thread is an awesome size. Fifteen lines would make for a great default size for the Quick Reply editor, too; especially for mobile users.

More and more folks, like myself, are visiting vBulletin powered sites on their mobile devices using browsers with the user agent set to 'desktop'. For the most part, this works "ok," but one area - a vital area - where this falls short is when using the Quick Reply editor. Replying is kinda important on message boards, I think. The default height of the Quick Reply editor box is too small, and scrolling up and down is too hit and miss on small boxes on already-small screens with an onscreen keyboard taking up space when needing to make changes to messages before hitting 'reply' (try adding a url in the middle of a message in a Quick Reply box on a mobile, then scroll up to make its seated next to the url tag - because it won't work otherwise - then scrolling back down to continue typing the rest of your message.

Unlike on an actual desktop, one cannot just select-and-drag to resize the Quick Reply editor box on a mobile device. We're stuck with the size we get. It's too small to be functional at its best.

I have checked here, but this made no difference to my editor size (double-checked on a mobile browser which I never used to visit my site, so cookies shouldn't have been an issue). I have seen out-dated threads referring to changes made to stylevars which no longer exist. There has been talk of .css changes, which left the original asker unsatisfied. There are mods that let you add every ridiculously annoying smilie in the universe and adjust 50 other things to the Quick Reply editor, but not the size.

If someone who knows how to adjust the default Quick Reply editor size, and is capable of making a mod to let numbskulls like myself easily adjust it, that would be really awesome. The ever-increasing users of mobile devices would also thank you.

There's probably a really good reason that this hasn't been done before. Sorry if this is a dumb request.

Thanks for your consideration. You're the best.

That's actually easy to do, it's in Sizes and dimensions of the style in question,

Message Area Width (pixels) (This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)

Looking specifically for height, not width. I'm not looking to introduce horizontal scrolling to what can already be an awkward vBulletin experience for mobile device users.
