Would it be possible to let users preview a post before committing it? I find myself always having to go back and fix details, like missing closing tags etc... Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism or Microsoft-bashing) require unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward - Edward Abbey

Can''t easily do it right now, but the fact that you can edit your posts pretty much makes up for that.

That''s a shame, because it benefits us in several ways:

- It''s quicker to download a page that just shows us our proposed post rather than the whole thread (or 20 posts) including our post, so amendments are done more quickly.
- It is more efficient to generate that preview page for each edit than to select all the posts for that thread.
- It consumes less bandwidth to send that one posting rather than the whole 20 or so.
