Hi Derek,

On the main page for the Take Charge Spring Series 2009 topics, there's a link under the posts that says "Want to Give Us Some Feedback? Click Here". When you visit the form, the textarea box is really tiny -- maybe 10 cols by 2 rows. It's kind of funny and reminds me of those "complaint forms" in offices where it has a little 1/2 inch box and says "please write legibly" below it. ;-)

Seriously, though, you may want to expand that textarea box to at least 50 cols and 10 rows to be more useful for the user.

Better, but still pretty sparse for a textarea field -- I see it's set to 40 cols but still only shows about 30 or so.. And with no rows param, it only displays 2 rows at a time. Very difficult to look back at what you're writing. Not conducive at all for entering a paragraph of feedback text. ;-)

Check out the size of this comment field for entering a new message here on the forum. This is the size you should emulate on that form as well -- COLS=60, ROWS=15. Much easier to use.

Although I had signed up, I wasn't able to attend the session this morning. Are these recorded or do you have to be there live? If it's recorded, how soon will it show up?
