The problem is simply this: In quickcom.tmpl the textarea used for review comments has 80 columns. This textarea is so big that it prevents the table it is contained in from taking our (very reasonable) tablewidth setting of 72% of browser window width.

In every other template file (including review.tmpl - the main template file governing the form to accept review comments) no other textarea exceeds 50 columns in width, hence why no other tables with textareas suffer this problem.

My point is: why the inconsistency in quickcom.tmpl? Why make this textarea so big that your user configurable tablewidth setting doesn't work properly? There does not seem to be a good reason for it. Why bother making tablewidth configurable at all if this is the policy?

I can't post a link to the site as it is under development and for commercial reasons cannot be made accessible outside our company at the moment.

But you don't need to look at our development website to verify what I have told you above - you could look in the ReviewPost v3.33 source code files I have referenced and search for "textarea".

Anyway, as I said, we have fixed it locally and I was hoping you would take this comment on board such that other ReviewPost customers who might want the tablewidth config setting to work properly, might benefit from an official fix, and that we at PXL Graphics are spared the necessity of maintaining local versions of some of the ReviewPost source files.

Thanks for your assistance.
