    That isn't entirely accurate. It increases load times for each and every page. Mind you, not by a great deal.

      I would rather have a Preview for editting posts. Quick reply is just that.

        I proposed a preview feature for PMs a while ago exactly for this reason. You can not edit a PM after it is sent...
        For PMs I can see the argument, but for posts I never have any problem. Maybe I've just had a lot of practice.

        And it's not just being awkward - this feature would potentially be useful for some. However, there are lots of potentially useful features, and unless this could be implemented fast (can it?) it's worth considering finite admin time.

          Needless to say, previews for PMs would also be nice.

            Didn't say you were spamming..just that you were making a point.
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

              A normal respondent looks to the topic review and will quote lines into the original post. The ultrauberspammer will post once per response, at minimum.

                      and I coined the term "ultrauberspammer" so I guess I should know what it means.

                          preview for pm's is much harder, a preview function will have to be coded from scratch
