Dear Populi Support,
A number of our faculty and students have requested the ability to expand the text field when making a Discussion/Bulletin Board post. They are finding it difficult to scroll through "long-winded" posts typed into the small, static rectangular text field. I noticed this feature works well in the Essay test questions. We are interested in having that same feature available for all Discussion/Bulletin Board posts.
Respectfully submitted,
Raul Lozada

@Raul - This functionality was implemented quite some time ago. It does not, however, work in Internet Explorer (right now anyway).
So, if people want to enjoy auto-expanding textareas they can't use Internet Explorer, but then no one should ever, under any circumstances, use Internet Explorer.

Thanks for the reply, Adam. Unfortunately, I cannot find the functionality in either Firefox or Safari. I just updated both browser, too. I even tried to see if the functionality showed after I began typing something, but I did not see anything. Please advise.
@Raul - If you're using Firefox, Chrome, or Safari the box should begin expanding when you've typed enough to reach the bottom. If this isn't happening for you please open a support request so we can look into it.
