Good work getting this done, I just used the feature for fun.

Many have asked before, but you pulled it off.

Was nearly 8 years too long to wait? 😳

When you say "8 years" I think 32. You probably said you'd have it done some time in late 2004 or early 2005?

P-

i don't see why anyone will use this. it doesn't show up any spelling mistakes or anything to do with incorrect content actually.

it would be better if misspelt words where underlined or something.

what's the difference between reading what you've written before posting it and putting it as a preview post and then rereading it. it's actually easier to read it again while in the posted format, the preview just seems to have one big line of words.

Is it because she's a girl? So we should get females to ask for site features?

Oh the irony of a person who never capitalizes the start of any sentence whining about post preview not showing spelling mistakes...

Get Firefox - it has a built-in spell checker.
I think Google Toolbar adds spell check to IE, but I can't be sure...

You are not claiming there is favoritism involved here?

Kudos, It probably will not help me any but well done. crowley has to much fun correcting and making fun of my speeeling, and I wouldn't want to spoil his favorite pass time. 😉 Especially edits with speeling errors! 🙂

Congratulations - you've been implemented!

(Yes, post previews are now available - just use the preview checkbox when posting, then uncheck it again to submit the final edit.)

Thank you Russ!!

Now my life is really complete. 😀

Don't like it, don't use it.

That's right.

It's rather meaningless for pure text, but it's very helpful if you are using tags and are not sure if you got them right, or if you are using character combinations that might result in unwanted smileys (e.g. % followed by a right parenthesis). I like that you can choose whether you want to use the preview or not.

Hm, I just noticed that in the preview, text after a < without a space doesn't disappear like it does when posting. Or maybe it doesn't anymore when posting either? Gonna check that now...

Edit: It still gets cut, until you add a >. The preview doesn't show this. Another problem with the preview is that the lines are not broken up, so you need a lot of scrolling sideways.

Oh Christ! Sorry, I forgot Rusty is around and I didn't put a smiley in to show I was joking 😕

Both problems now resolved.

Edit - Too late! I never saw a red-eyed cow run so fast. 😕
