Subject: How Often Do You Use The "Preview" Option When Posting?

Spread the love...

I use it almost every single time I make a post. Especially when there is a lot of BB Code going on, it's difficult to see while actually typing it up.

In fact, I'm using it right now to check that this looks alright before posting. Anyway, what I'm wondering is how much you use it.

Why? For me, it's prevented many edits.

Mainly when I make long posts or lots of BB code, like yourself. It's used more as a last chance to hit the "cancel" button before I post something stupid.

I like how your thread says "[Edited on 12.16.2011 7:22 PM PST]" thought you were just saying how you always look in preview first... lol.

EDIT: Anyways, I never do... It doesn't bother me to have my thread/post say it was edited.

That's because when I posted the thread, the Title ended in "..." and cut off from the last word. So I shortened the title a little.

Previews should also have the Titles included in them, in my opinion.

Usually if I make a large post. I really only use it so I know where I should break up my paragraphs.

Fixed.

But honestly, if you make a single grammatical error, linking error, or any sort of typo at all on The Flood you will be exterminated.

I use it 3.65 times per post.

I usually use it if I have a large post with a lot of formatting or links involved in it.

I usually don't use it unless I am making a large post or I have a lot of text formatting in it. It's kind of odd scrolling through a post only to see a bunch of broken bold or italic formats.

Never, unless I accidently hit it when I try to post. Which, ironically, happened on this post.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I preview my short posts to check my grammar, punctuation, and spelling. For long posts, I'll just have my computer read the post to me to check if it is grammatically correct.

  • 12.16.2011 8:31 PM PDT

Only when it's a complicatedly text formatted post.
