[ltr]Have just installed MyBB 1.6

I wonder how they can broaden this displayed on the image?
I have searched the Forum, but is probably not the right keyword. I would therefore increase the width and the length of this.

Where can this or these files called?[/ltr]
admin panel >> Templates & Style >> templates >> your theme templates >>
find size="40" in below templates and change to size="85" and save the templates
* New Thread Templates >> newthread
* New Reply Templates >> newreply
* Edit Post Templates >> editpost

for the editor height, you can experiment with style properties like below in the theme's global.css

.messageEditor  {height: 620px!important;}
.messageEditor textarea {height: 540px!important;}
Thanks, I have solved it. But I can not find this:

. messageEditor {height: 620px! important;}
. messageEditor textarea {height: 540px! important;}

Should this be under? -/bildforumet.com/public_html/cache/themes/theme1
^ css style properties should be edited through admin panel

admin panel >> Templates & Style >> themes >> your theme >> global.css >> Edit Stylesheet: Advanced Mode (tab)

you can add the suggested code at the bottom of global.css and save the style sheet.
visit new reply / new thread page and hard refresh your browser (eg. press CTRL + F5) if required
[ltr]I did as you wrote and it became a little better. Text area became longer. But not the big message box. It would have wider and no higher.[/ltr]
^ if this is your forum, above suggested css style codes are not added to global.css
some other code is added for the width of the editor form
