K, i wrote something, and I previewed it and it looked fine but when I went back and read my lovely post, where I'd hit enter for a line break, there was no spacing so that two sentences ran together. I was wondering what's up with that?

A word to the wise where the preview feature is concerned.

When you write something in the (Post message edit field), before you do anything select all of your text and copy it to the clip board. Then preview the post as per usual. If everything looks good, instead of pressing the post button hit the edit post button. From there simply clear the edit field and post the original text in and then post as per normal. Yes it is a laborious way of doing things but on the plus side, you won't lose anything because frankly, at best, the preview feature is temperamental.

I was excited to get it, but don't use it now. I've had too many embarrassing posts that I've had to go in with a second post and explain why most of the previous message is missing.

Maybe I'll try that with the "edit post" button, as you recommend, Dan. Thanks.

Bloody hell, i dont really see the point in the preview feature that amount of times its fucked up.
Won't the line break html tag work?

we'll have to look at this, as I'd rather it work if we're going to have it.
