Why do we have a preview button? No one uses it.

i think that some people need to take the extra 10 seconds and preview threads that way we dont have B/S threads with pictures in the comments with a bunch of broken links in the actual thread and when people embed videos, why not hit preview? that way you dont look like a dink trying to embed the same video like 20 times and getting it right after 20 comments of a big white empty space.

I think you should have it hit preview to hit reply. Like, there is only one button, it says preview and then "reply" would be in the preview window.

You should have to preview your posts before being able to post it. Would save so many photo and video embed fails.

Ever seen me fail at an embed?

Nope.

Because I use the wonderful Preview button.

Everyone should do the same.

I use it for all my posts even ones without media to check for spelling and stuff like that. But I'm just OCD like that.

No kidding. Embedding is EXTREMELY easy, along with posting photos. It's been beyond me ever since I've been a member as to why so many people cannot post stuff.

ironic post is ironic because it was meant to be ironic

i love the preview post button. every time i'm not quite sure about something like a .gif or .png loading i just hit the preview

people always ask for an edit post button. you got one. just edit it before you actually post it by looking at the preview

As per my point of view, the option of preview button is quite good,....There is a advantage of it...It can avoid the wrong postings........after writing in a text box, if we c d preview before submitting it may help in detecting the errors and do the correction in it.......

A lot of other forums work like that, by showing what your post will look like before you post.
