What about a preview post button? I hate when i make an error posting a picture, reply, or just something silly in a for sale thread (like leaving out a picture).

Wouldn't this button be super useful since the "edit post" idea is a no go.

exactly. its a waste of a button if you ask me. all you have to do is read over your thread and tags just like you would do if you hit "preview post". no go.

well you know what.. i hate when i am trying to post and i have to reread my post and click enter again just after ive already read it before i post it, and simply because some people are too hasty and dont bother to read what they wrote until after theve posted. foo.

most forums with previews you dont have to preview if you dont want to, you can post it straight away. I think would be advantages to having a preview button.. checking all your images are displaying properly before posting, a reduction in useless threads where people try out html tags etc

A preview post button is probably as gay as changing cults to crews...Dumbest Idea I have heard yet. Tell me exactly why you need it. You can read, you can make sure its right. For god sake...just sack up and fucking read it before you like POST FUCKING THREAD...

Obviously not everyone considering 75% of the people posting in this thread DON'T want it.

no that would give people the opportunity to see if theyre gonna get pwned or not. there would be less pwnage and it would get boring

Sometimes image codes for JPG's don't always work... and with lots of codes and texts being entered it's easy to forget or leave out something.
Hell,90% of the sale threads require people posting a picture of an image they accidentally left out.

It would be nice for checking coding but I would likely never use it.
