1	Doobie Tue 4/8/2008 7:40a	We've added a new feature to the boards today, the ability to preview a post before posting. You should see the button right down there below the post button. Let me know if you encounter any issues. Thanks. Doobie.
2	WilliamK99 Tue 4/8/2008 7:42a	Its only a matter of time before we get an edit button lol...
3	threeundertwo Tue 4/8/2008 7:47a	testing teeeesting It's a start. Thanks Doobie! Especially useful for long comments.
4	FerretAfros Tue 4/8/2008 8:46a	This is really exciting! Hmm...let's see if it shows links that don't work... http://www.laughingplace.com http://www.mapquest.com/maps/1...02-2309/ I like it! I'm also a fan of how long URL's all seem to be hyperlinked now with a "..." in the middle. This is super exciting, and the next best thing to an edit feature! If people still screw up now, it's their own fault, and I won't feel too bad for them. : )

6	Mr X Tue 4/8/2008 8:54a	Just out of curiosity, what's the point of this feature, if you can't actually go back and edit after the fact? Since it isn't really even a true "preview", but just a screen shot sort of thing, is this just a "mirror" or something? Is there any reason someone couldn't just scroll up and read what they read without the benefit of this feature? Sorry, I don't mean to sound negative. I guess I'm just asking what is the reason/functionality of this. I always thought "preview" went along with "edit" so people could look back at, touch up, and fix their posts. How is just the one useful? (for the record, I checked out "preview message" before sending this :p)

Doesn't really matter for short posts but may matter for longer posts. Also, this box I'm typing in now is relatively narrow also making it a little harder to re-read your post before posting. But certainly not everyone will find it useful. I personally do use it now and like it, though. Just gives me one more chance to easily see that I said what I meant to say without scrolling through this small box. Doobie.
