An advanced warning........

When posting a new thread or a PM would it be possible to have a warning if you press the return button by accident but you have already made your title???

I have sent a PM recently but forgot to press tab on the box to write my message, this was then sent with NO content. A reminder to say "There is NO content in this post would you still like to send?" would be very handy, a little like the message you get when you type swear words in. (so I have heard! 😛)

Thanks 😉

I agree... or disable the enter sending the message. I've done this several times myself.

When creating a new thread, I would be happy if I could edit the title too, not only the posting itself.
It's very easy to forget the title before hitting the submit.
Or having a preview before submitting it.

Not to claim your glory, but I have mentioned this further down but its still a great idea.

Let's broaden its appeal a bit - how about an option in your settings for "I require a confirmation when sending a move or a post" i.e. of the "confirm Y/N" type ?

Editing thread titles can make tracking threads difficult. I disagree with such a feature. The benefits are very very small and don't outweigh the costs.

A warning/confirmation with preview would be the best, in my opinion.

If it is that good, should it be recced?

Or does Russ and Chris actually read these threads? After all, its their site we are trying to improve.

Yes they do - Russ has said in the past that he does.
