I cannot find where to adjust the size of the Add Comment textarea box. If you look at the first screenshot I've attached, you'll see that it's HUGE - and considering it is only a 'fake' textarea box that serves more as a link to the actual text boxes that people fill in when making comments, it is ridiculous for it to be so large!

I've looked in the AddComment.tpl, but that only has adjustments for the actual text boxes that are used - plus I've looked in the theme.tpl, album.tpl and photo.tpl and I just cannot find the coding that creates that huge fake text box under Add Comment on the main pages!

And it also shows on the preview/confirmation page - again huge! - and throws off the whole page as you can see in the second and third screenshots attached.

I've checked the Comment.tpl and the CommentChangeConfirmation.tpl - and cannot find any coding there to change it either.

I just want a lil bitty box since it isn't actually used anyway!

How can I do this??

Sure appreciate your help!!

Thanks, Shirley

real urls are more helpfull but try this:
edit /modules/comments/templates/blocks/addcomments.tpl find:
[code] <textarea cols=80 rows=5></textarea>[/code[ and change the 80 and 5 to suit.

Awesome, Floridave!! Thanks SO much! That works perfect ... plus I now know where to find those elusive 'blocks' that the pages keep referencing!

This is invaluable info - thanks again! ;-)
