What does it do? It let's you preview your message, bbcode, URLs and images without having to post it first. It's great to help fix errors and spot typos. Click the "Preview" button to see what you've typed. It will appear in a preview box above the Edit window. You can preview as much as you like, then you can submit it when you're happy. I must have used it to fix changes about ten times on this post alone! ALSO: as a sidenote, there had been a few complaints over the years about people losing their posts because they entered their passwords wrong, and when they hit the back button, everything they typed was gone. That shouldn't happen now. The error message should appear above the Edit window and retain what you typed (no back button needed, but it can still happen if the server is down or overloaded, but there's not much I can do in that case). This was a somewhat big change to the New Topic, Reply, and Edit Post pages. I did a lot of testing of it, but I'm not 100% sure all the bugs are out of it. So, please, if you find a glitch, post it here so I can track it down and fix it! Mahalo, Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2005-03-27 03:29 ]
