Inbox update - June 2024 Release

How does the HTML wizard who designed the new inbox expect me to draft, let alone edit, inspiring applications or any other communication in a textbox that is 4 lines high and 16 characters wide?

I was one of the volunteers who tested the new inbox and I immediately found this was an issue which I reported back .

It was reported and feedback by other users too . This was way back in February during the “testing “ stage .

@pietkuip

I noticed that the minimum length of an application is now 50 characters.

@systaran

very small text box encourages one sentence apps.

@Silversitters

Feedback:
Application text box is too small.

Whilst I could submit an application of our usual length (1650 characters) it wasn’t all visible in the text box .

It was possible to scroll up and down and see all the text . However I could not expand the text box to see all of the application at one time. I like to be able to see overview of the application ( as was previously possible ) so that I can spot any typos and correct . A overview of the whole of the text is also important to ensure it’s correctly spaced and easy to read . This isn’t possible with the small text box . A much larger text box is required for applications.

@Debbie

have submitted an application using the new system too.

I agree with @Silversitters that the test box is too small - for all the same reasons.

It’s very disappointing that this has been rolled out before this known issue
was fixed .
