Preview Post

Is there any reason why I don't have the ability to preview posts or save as draft anymore? (except I seem to be able to preview on this forum)

That's what it is!

I've noticed all day today that something seemed....different....when I was posting, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

We're missing some buttons down there.

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me!

Same here! Look, I know I preview a lot because I tend to muck up BBcode, but I didn't mean to do it so much that I broke the button...

Oh noes! We broke it!

It is driving me nuts.. lol.. and my edits aren't accepting my changes.. Is that disabled as well? Or is that user error??

Yeap you guys broke it.

SkepticOverlord has disabled it for the time being.

Did SO mention the reason behind his decision? Any word on disabling the Post Reply button?

I think it may have someting to do with the amount of activity on this site in concert with their current server size. I think that is why there are no more view counters and why other things have gone by the wayside.

Hopefully, some of it is only temporary...

The preview will return within 24 hours. It was closely tied to the draft functionality, which has encountered some issues. As soon as the two functions are separated from each other, the preview button will return.

FYI, not sure if it's related but the BBcode for italics isn't working atm either.


Test:

bold
italics
underline


Edit: Nevermind. Guess I must have been using the carrots instead of the brackets when I was posting earlier and they emphasis didn't show.. Sorry.

Okay. Thanks for the explanation and the resolution of the issue.

I was going to post this very question, AND I even came to the right area of the board on the first try.

Thanks for the info.

BTW: the Post Reply just looks lonely sitting there all by himself.

haha Irish Mick that's been happening to me all day too

OH POO ,turns out it's busted

Throw a bucket of cold water on them; that usually works.

Prof Chaos finally did something original.
No its done by ATS programing.

About the draft function, I used it once and was shocked to see
what looked like a posting.

I thought everyone was able to see my draft and never again
used the function.

I can draft something very un post worthy at times.
Not to mention my regular posts that might take decades of
popular mind set to un wind before they are understandable.
