Subject: Previewing Posts?

Simple enough question. Do you preview your posts before you post them? I do sometimes if I have urls embedded or copious amounts of quoting.

No, because my posts are always perfect.

When I write a lot of formatted text I usually do, just to make sure.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Almost always.

When I'm making a thread? Absolutely. I don't like having the 'edit' signs at the bottom of my thread posts.

Whenever it's a long post I do.

NEVER!

Not because I'm confident that I didn't screw something up, because I assume I have always done something wrong. I don't preview because it simply never even crosses my mind.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

Always.

I quite like the system that Whisper Game Studios (plug for great justice) has going on. Users are forced to preview their posts before being able to submit them.

I'm in the habit of previewing my posts, regardless of how short they are. Usually helps too.

That'd be irritating.

  • 07.27.2012 5:27 PM PDT

I have previewed every single one of my posts.

Yes, I do. I am prone to typos and I detest typos.

Nope. Because I love seeing the edited thing at the bottom of my post.

I never really preview unless the post is long or I have used a lot of formatting. I really should preview more though, probably around 50% of my recent posts have been edited due to typos.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you edited that to be ironic.

  • 07.27.2012 6:16 PM PDT

I preview PM's, or on sites that allow image/video embedding.

I do when i write long posts or when I use some type of BBcode. Rather than submitting my post and then getting a preview before actually posting it, I'd rather preview the post as I'm typing it. It would save everyone time and just be super cool.

If I use a hyperlink. If it's simple words, my spellcheck usually catches me.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

I preview for those pesky URL links, or to see if I need to break apart some paragraphs.

I only preview the post if what I type doesn't fit in the text box well, or if I have more than 2 or 3 links in the post.

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

I just make it look like I edited the post. That way people who quote me get confused.
