Do you preview your posts?

Fri Aug 05, 2005 12:03 pm

When posting a post on a forum, do you use the preview button to check how your post will look before you post it?

I do. Because I use coding in my posts, I check that I have entered it correctly and that it works, just in case.

Not usually. Sometimes if it has a lot of pictures, yes, to check they work.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 1:08 pm

Never.
Willingly, anyway. :P
Sometimes my mouse will edge away a little and I'll press it by accident.

Sometimes, when I've posted a particularly long post ... but no, not usually.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 1:17 pm

Nope, never. I usually go over my post before I post it though.

Sometimes I preview, usually if I'm quoting, inserting pictures or using bold or italics. Otherwise, I just read it and correct any spelling or coding mistakes I made after I post.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 1:24 pm

nope, not even with pics or whathaveyou.

but then, im a lazy. lazy person.

I usually only use the preview feature when I'm making a fairly lengthy post involving intricate use of the list or quote tags, and I usually do that in The Debating Table.

I preview when I have pictures or am quoting more than one person. But I couldn't possibly imagine previewing every single post.

Sometimes, like if I'm using a lot of coding, putting pictures, or quoting a lot of people I'll preview just to make sure I didn't make a big mistake or something. Other than that, no.

I always use the preview to make sure my spelling and grammar are immaculate.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:23 pm

I just preview entries when they have coding in them to make sure I didn't screw up.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 4:48 pm

Never, unless I'm seeing if certain words are censored.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 5:09 pm

Sometimes. Depending on the length and meaning of the post.

Fri Aug 05, 2005 6:03 pm

Nope. I just glance it over once it's posted and edit it if needbe. Occasionally it happens on accident though.
