( Sorry I can't edit this tonite. I am struggling with the scrolling thing here.)
Mary, I'm sorry the scrolling thing is causing you problems. I think you must mean the bottom of the posting window, which adjusts the window's size.
At the bottom of the posting window (when you make a post) there is a gray bar with two lines that look like this:

This bar allows you to resize the posting window appropriately for the length of your post. When I make a long post, I lengthen the posting window so I can see my whole post without the posting window's scrollbar appearing. I do find that if I pull the posting window down too far into the browser window, it seems to get out of control, so I also use the browser's scroll bar to position the bottom of the posting window so this doesn't happen.
I hope these suggestions help (please let me know if they don't) and if this isn't what you mean, please clarify.
