I agree, but you can make it bigger using CSS. In my Display Settings

    I generally use the It's All Text! extension for Firefox, then I can click the "edit" button on any textarea and modify it in my own editor.

    No, not without GreaseMonkey or some other external tool. That's why I said I agree with that recommendation.

      You can rather easily do this in IE and it is only somewhat more complicated in FireFox. Sure, it may impact any textarea on any web site that uses name="note_doctext", but how many of those are you likely to run into? (And, yes, it is no accident that posting anonymously has some disadvantages.)

      For IE, select Tools => Internet Options => General => Accessibility and define your personal style sheet and add the appropriate CSS to it. For FireFox, look up the FAQ on how to find you profile directory and which file to edit and add your personal CSS to.

      If somebody would make some exact recommendation as to how to improve the default textarea size, then it would be more likely that something would be done. Especially if the recommendation was not solely geared toward people with the latest browser being used maximized on a high-resolution monitor. :)
