Bug in Comment Wall?

[celina[D]]

Is there a bug in the comment wall? Or has Ning set the size of the comment wall as a fixed size?

The size of the area in which members leave a message is now set to a very small area instead of sized according to the CSS of our custom themes.

If you notice Celina after you write a few lines in the comment box it brings up a scroll bar, this is very irritating and it's also altering the way a graphic is shown if you add one there by the css code... What's going on NING?

Exactly Jayne and thank you for your reply.

We don't make our own themes with CSS to have them overruled by Ning settings. It ruins the look of the theme and is indeed very irritating to have such a small area and a scrollbar instead.  Specially when you wish to read back what you have written before sending your message. Before one could see it in a glance, now you have to scroll endlessly when it's a long message.

It's even worse Celina, I've added a theme here at creators on my page, and anything I've done in the chattewall is gone, all we get now is an ugly white teeny box, grrr, I am so angry at Ning for this... if you look at my page you'll see (not sure why my AV isnt' showing here either)

My admin has a custom theme and his comment wall shows up white as well. This wouldn't be so bad if the text wasn't set to white as well. So now other members can no longer see what they are typing. I haven't checked all the 50+ themes I've made yet but no doubt many more have this problem

My text is showing black, but this white box really interferes with the look of my themes, we'll only see on this creators site till they release the rich text to all our sites...

It takes on the main background color one has set in the CSS which can clash with the rest of the theme big time and make text invisible whilst writing it when background and text color are (almost) the same. At this moment the option of en- ro disableing richt text editor is gone as well.
