I think we need this option. I recently started a thread which enables you to watch Live TV, but the embedding code didn't work, if i could of preview the thread I wouldn't of posted it..

Thoughts??

Yep, good idea. It took me 5 attempts to find an embed code that worked the other day :|

Agree with this or not?

Yep, like all decent forums, you have to have a preview message to prevent unecessary typos and spam.

A preview message would be a good idea, though we do have an edit feature as a back up.

So the decision would be purely down to member preference.

Also, I don't think your messages should be shown as edited if you have edited only a few minutes after a post.

Maybe give it 5 minutes before it actually comes up as edited.

The edit tag I agree with

Message preview on the other hand, I consider fluff and nothing worthwhile what so ever.

1: In my experience from lots of different boards, people never use that feature anyways

2: What's preventing you from reviewing your post in the input/editing field in the first place? It's not like the letters are about to revolt and form grammar or spelling errors between the time you hit the "Post" button to the time it is displayed as a normal post for others to read...
