I cannot figure out how to not use the quick reply box

In summary, the conversation is about the lack of a button for a new reply that would take the user to a new page with a larger editing box. The other participants in the conversation suggest using the preview button or the reply button under individual posts, but it is noted that the editing box now simply expands as needed, with no need for a separate page.

Is there no button for a new reply which takes me to a new page with more space to see my writing? Is that to old fashioned?

I think what he wants is a larger editing box, not simply a preview. I don't see any way to get a larger editing box, either.

Under the old software, hitting the "Reply" button underneath an individual post opened up a separate page with a large editing box. Now it simply takes you to the editing box at the bottom of the thread, and pastes in a quote of the post being replied to.

Under Chropera editing box grows together with the post size, I assumed it does the same under other browsers.

You're right! At least it also does this under Firefox (Mac OS). I've surely seen this before, but it didn't stick in my mind. I was thinking the edit box acquires a scroll bar when the post becomes long enough.

This what was i ment. For some reason I hadn't checked what would happen if I used up all the lines in the box. The dynamic box is pretty smart!
