'Ello Mr Admin sir.

Quick question, are there any plans to include the facility to preview your posts before posting them?

You guys have addressed just about everything else, but this would be a welcome feature if it's possible.

Ta.

You've already got one, the box you type replys in is 99% of what gets posted, its only links that would make the preview a help

Not in my experience. Sometimes I'll be doing a reply maybe with a few quotes, or trying to fit in a YouTube vid somewhere and I'll press submit and when it appears they're all over the place.

I'd just like to be able to see what my posts look like actually as they'd appear on the thread before finally posting them, especially as I can't delete them and try again.

I likes everything just so yer see.

Well, the tech guys here have worked on the current interface so it shows everything in this box as you'd see it in the post. So, no need for a preview. However, if this isn't working then there's a need to sort it out so it does. We won't see a return to the preview we had on the old system but I do want to make sure this one works properly.

When you say "all over the place" what sort of content makes it go like this?

It's normally when adding something external into a post. YouTube, occasionally pics, the odd quote. Especially when trying to do multiples of something. I'll press submit only to find spaces I deliberately entered between items have gone, sometimes paragraphs have disappeared leaving just one block of text. On occasion items put in have been missing completely.. It just seems somewhat erratic sometimes as to whether it'll be submitted exactly as you see it, and the more complicated the post, the more likely it is that it won't be.

Don't get me wrong, it's only every now and again though. Possibly I'm just fussier than the software allows for.

Well it's certainly something we'll look into. Can you let me know what browser you're using and operating system too. Thanks.

Vista home premium and Internet Explorer.. Can't remember how to check which version of IE though.
