I know this is a meager thing, but I at least wondered if this ever catches anyone else. Since I've been back, I've noticed the Quick Reply feature at the bottom of the page, which is a wonderful addition. I've noticed recently that the order of the "Submit" and "Preview" buttons are reversed between this feature and the regular reply page. It just keeps throwing me off a bit depending on how I reply... such as publishing my post when I mean to preview first, or vice versa.
Like I said, it's not a big deal and I'm not demanding change (as I prefer dollars). I'm just puttin' it out there as well as wondering if anyone else has noticed, and maybe have suffered a similar fate to myself.

it's an interesting point and I'll add it to the to-do list. My WordPress admin panel is completely fucked right now though, so that's a bigger issue.

When it was first imposed I specifically remember someone saying something about and it was brushed under the rug. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: From the "Please add a quick reply" thread.

double post.
if its not too much trouble, can you switch the submit/preview buttons on the quick reply? im used to hitting tab twice from the regular reply option and its been confusing me on the quick reply. if its too much work, then dont even worry about it. |

I think that the submit button should be removed and all posts should be previewed prior to posting.

No chance in hell. I post from my phone fairly often, and that extra page load would be an unnecessary pain in my ass.
And really, that's all "preview" is, an extra click. None of the people who have severe spelling/grammar issues are actually going to take a second look at their posts before they hit "submit".

I knew the answer before I hit the submit button myself.
At some point in the future if the boards are upgraded, certain forum software allows for previews without page loads. The text is rendered dynamically into HTML and shown in the same page.
