Update: If you fold up a box using the up-arrow icon in the corner, PCMatic will remember that choice for that character and will always show him or her that way.

No worries. Would it be any easier to just have it automatically adjust to how much text is in the field?

One other thing I noticed. Not sure how the log in is set up but my LastPass password manager doesn't recognize the log in fields like it does on the main site.
The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.

PCMatic is a single-page app, the first I've ever attempted, and I frankly don't know how to convince the browser to offer to save the password. I'll look into it.

... and, that was easier than I expected. Should offer to save the password now.

Yep, that works now.

I was playing with this today, and noticed the textareas when expanded overlap their containing boxes. Here is what I see in firefox or chromium:

The fix, which I tested in firebug, was to change the three textarea width properties in base.css, I guess 26em is just a tad too wide, but 23em works ok. I also tested this change in chromium's web inspector and it works there, too (I tried setting the three width properties to 'auto', but that seemed too narrow). Anyway, here is the change:

Curious. I don't experience the problem myself. What operating system are you using? It could be an issue with the font.

I'm using linux - Debian to be specific, although the versions of firefox and chromium are fairly recent. In firefox, if I don't allow the page to use it's own fonts, I still see the problem, so I don't think that's it (some of the icons on the upper right go away if I do that, but the page layout is still off). I'm curious to hear if anyone else sees this issue too.

Same thing is happening for me; latest Chrome and Win 8.1.
