Irreverent Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Is there a way to preview a post before posting it to a thread?I realize that the new forum uses a wysiwyg editor, but its still awkward if you are embedding links and images. If there's a way to turn on preview, I have't found it in account settings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vae Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I realize that the new forum uses a wysiwyg editor, but its still awkward if you are embedding links and images. Adding to this, just because it's relevant: Directly being able to edit the code in posts would be a godsend.Sometimes the editor just does not want to cooperate.So it's easier just to manually force that shit.

Kaizy Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah I've noticed the lack of "Preview" options for posts, it's helpful in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's less straight forward, but ehhh...Having the option to swap to a proper HTML formatting version would be great.And if that was an option, a "preview" feature would be absolutely necessary.

Scrydan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I must also jump aboard and say I love formatting things myself. Being able to not auto <p> when I space would be must desirable! Also I mentioned the preview thing a day or two ago so yeah...I guess I wasn't going mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrydan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Mmm, might add that to some sort of FAQ as it may be useful. Perhaps a FAQ for various features would just be useful too if one doesn't exist. Thanks for mentioning that in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
