I used to be able to make the BBO browser client take up as much or little space on my screen as I wanted by dragging the edge of the BBO window. Now... it's full screen and all I can do is move it around.

I'm not fond of this -- I have some monitors with nice resolution, and I don't want BBO taking up the whole thing (this is important when I'm just chatting, not playing). Am I missing something, or is this a change that was intentionally made? If intentional... I have to say that I don't like it.

Are you talking about the Windows download client? I don't think it has ever allowed manual resizing, you can just switch between wide and narrow modes with Control-W. No changes have been made to this program in years.

If you're talking about the browser version, you can certainly resize the browser window. I just tried it.

Yes, I'm talking about the browser-based version, not the Windows version.
I just checked, and indeed I can resize the window (at least on this computer) using ie, but with at least
two other computers running Firefox, I can't (v 13 on one; the other was recently upgradd to 13, and I
don't know which version it was running before, but the previous version also would not resize).

So perhaps it's a Firefox issue? I guess I should try with Opera just for grins.

I just tried it with Firefox on my Mac, and was able to resize it.

Anybody who can check with firefox 13.0.1 on Win7?

You can adjust the size...but you need to first make the window smaller, drag the window in enough to reach the side, and then adjust. I have to do this with Chrome. You cannot reach the edge unless you move the window first.

Does Win7 still have the window control to switch out of full-screen size (the icon is two overlapping squares)?

I can get to the side just fine -- the cursor becomes the double, opposite arrow icon, and ... nothing. I can't grab
the edge and move it to change the size. I can slide the window when in windowed mode so that I have full access to
two window edges... but I can't do a thing to change the size, only the position of the BBO window that I can never
make smaller.

Sure. There's an icon in the upper-right corner that is either "go to full screen" or "go to window". In full-
screen mode, of course, you can never adjust the window border. In window mode, I can change the size of every
browser window except the BBO window.

For what it's worth, double-clicking on the top bar of a window toggles between full screen and window mode.
That works fine... but the window still takes up the full screen, and can't be resized (although it can be moved).

And again, the same things I can do to change the size of any other Firefox window Just Don't Work with my
BBO Firefox browser window. Very odd.

I use windows 7 and firefox 13.0.1 and everything works fine.

I had a similar problem once with a pop-up window on BBO - not with the browser itself, and i had to reset flash cache memory to fix it:

I have no idea if this will help, but it wont hurt either.
