Having difficulty in sending a private message

Question

I am entering a private message but can't make the form extend beyond the message part. Am I doing something wrong?

Jim Richardson's comment suggests that this may be a limitation on certain devices. What device, browser, and operating system are you using?

Hi Ellen:

Device: Acer Swift 3 Desktop. Intel Core Processor i7-8350 @ 1.80 GHz

Browser: Firefox

Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Hmm... With that setup, you should see some sort of widget  in the lower right corner of the box (on my Firefox display it's a small group of dots) that you can drag with your mouse (or other pointing device) to expand the box. This is what Michael Stills describes as a little arrow.

I can't get to the lower right corner so I used the backward/forward keystroke on my computer. It works.

This has been reported by one other person (also using Firefox on Windows 11). I went through multiple debugging steps with her and wasn't able to figure out what the issue was -- but maybe the issue has something to do with Windows 11.

Does it work OK in other browsers such as Edge or Chrome?

Sorry for answering late. When I use Microsoft Edge it's okay. When I use Firefox I have to use the backward/forward keystroke (ie 1st key to the left on the 3rd row of keys on my keyboard - maybe different on other keyboards).

Thanks Michael, that helps narrow down where the issue might be.

Answer 1

In the bottom right corner of the main text [message box] entry box there is a little arrow you can drag to widen and extend the box.

Unfortunately this method may only be available on computers. It isn't on an iPad, for example.
