Do you use "Preview" button while starting a discussion? I started a discussion what extra feature we would like to be present on mylot & by that I came to know that most of the person would like to have an edit option on discussions because we can make mistakes on posting. But there is a preview button which can help us a lot. I use it while starting a discussion. Do you?

I have just used the preview button only once since i am in mylot. Preview screen and the response screen can't make any big difference because you mostly find errors in what you do later only, not at the time... Have a nice day...

Thank you for your response! When I do use preview before my discussion, I can also not find any errors but when it is done, then the errors are being shown. I tend to forget some words to mention, Like, If I have to write.. "I don't know that I need ....." then I would right(generally) as .. "I don't that I need..." But I can't notice it at preview time too!

Ooops, I wrote "right" instead of "write". Read it accordingly friend.

That is right...using the preview button you won't be able to figure out any errors. Only an edit button will help this.

Many others are probably al lot like me. I don't want to waste time, and I'd probably miss any errors that need correcting anyway. We tend not to see them when we edit our own material. Editing afterwards might be pretty much the same, but it just doesn't feel as time-consuming.

Well, at my computer, this button is generally working. Yea, I just checked it is working. I am just wondering why it is not working at your site.

I don't use the preview button =( I didn't even notice it until I looked just now! I'm not very observant which I'm sure you sort of guessed. I suppose when starting a discussion I shall use it but I haven't done that yet... I'll thik of something and do it soon!
