Writer's B&B

This is not a story. I have thrown together a little script (read: ripped and modified) to make the RSBandB post box bigger, and the topic review box longer, which I think is better for writing longer passages and looking back at a topic.

There are two versions, one for 1024x768 monitors, and one for monitors that are wider. It works in both Firefox Greasemonkey and Opera UserJS, and probably Safari Creammonkey, too, but I have no way of really telling.

To install in Opera (I am assuming you are running Windows XP for this guide.)

Navigate to C:/Documents and Settings/Your username/Application Data/Opera/Opera/profile and make a folder called 'javascripts'.

Then, in Opera, go Tools -> preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Javascript Options -> and change the value of the user javascripts directory to C:/Documents and Settings/your username/Application Data/Opera/Opera/profile/javascripts

Download this file (for greater than 1024 wide) or this file (for 1024 wide) (right click, save target as), and put it in C:/Documents and Settings/your username/Application Data/Opera/Opera/profile/javascripts

Then reload a page with a post box in (either privmsg.php or posting.php) and your post box will be wider, and topic review taller

To install in Firefox

First you'll need the greasemonkey extension. Download and install it from here: http://www.greasespot.net , then reboot Firefox.

Navigate to here (if you have a monitor greater than 1024 pixels wide) or here (if you have a 1024 pixels wide monitor). Greasemonkey should recognise it as a script and ask to install it. Select to install it.

Then reload the page to see the difference

I've been using this script for the last couple of months, and I think it really helps when writing longer posts. When I am forced to use the smaller post box, it just seems wierd.

I hope you like it
