Small QOL change to consider

[subSTRATA]

Could we possibly get a bigger text box on the report page as opposed to the 1 liner size one we have right now? Not exactly a pressing issue, but it'd be nice to be able to see what I type when writing up some larger reports or have to include multiple links and such.

Like this

or something like that.

I created a small browser extension for FireFox / Tor Browser that basically does this:

Code:

if (window.location.href.startsWith("https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reporttm")) {
    document.getElementsByName("comment")[0].style.width = "80%";
}

Looks like this:

It's still one line but good enough for me. Replacing it with a multiline text area could be done with createElement/replaceChild.

Would be nice to have a proper solution though.

I don't think so. You can type a lot into that poor little textbox - the field size in the DB seems to be fairly large.

dunno if the exact code will work on chrome, but i guess it's a simple matter of writing a few lines. would be nice to actually have the code changed, but i guess this'll do for now.

I think it should work. You can either google a "hello world" example of how to create a browser extension, or use something like Tampermonkey to inject javascript into the page. Or use Stylebot to change the width of the box. I didn't want any third-party extensions in my Tor Browser so I rolled my own.

There's an ugly solution which is storing enter as "\n" on comment field.
Also, we actually don't know the field type and perhaps it already supports enter.

It's a matter of how moderators see it. I think it comes over as a PM, so newlines and perhaps even bbcode could work.

I am not expert, however I would think this would be a simple display issue.

iirc i've been told in the past that the mods have a page where they view reports, not via pm.

Yeah that would make more sense...
