Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

scrolling the writing area to top of screen?

this may be a bit silly, but I wish the study page
http://www.skritter.com/study/all
were longer, so I could scroll the writing area to the top of my screen, for more comfortable writing on my Wacom tablet.

I can achieve the same result by resizing the browser to a small window,

but that's less convenient when I use other tabs, which require a bigger window.

So if there could be more space at the bottom of the screen, it would look a bit less nice, but would be more convenient.

I don't think this is something we'll aim to change ourselves, but if you want to learn how to specify custom CSS with your browser, you could add this CSS rule to make all Skritter pages taller:

body.bluey { min-height: 1400px; }

Yup, thanks, that works.

If anyone else is interested, for custom CSS on IE I created a text file called "custom-ie.css" containing the suggested style:

/* Make Skritter study page more scrollable so I can position writing box anywhere */
body.bluey { min-height: 1400px; min-width: 2000px; }

(I also threw in a min-width) then I followed the instructions here:

If you change the custom CSS file, you have to restart IE for the change to be taken into account.

On Chrome or Firefox I might have used stylish

but Skritter is currently fastest for me on IE.
