And what do you do when the preview shows you your errors? you fix and reedit your text, of course. How is this different from just posting and then hitting the edit button?

Shot down before it even got off the ground...

@Wolfy, you know you'd never use it.

Because then you won't have that silly "edited by blah blah..." text at the bottom

Like this:


"Got anything for me?" - Trent, A.K.A. 'Mr. Eloquent'

Which messes up the sig, of course...

And forces more editing or it just grows and grows....

What would be even better if, like some forums I see, you can edit the post
within a certain amount of time (an hour, a day) and the "edited' won't appear
allowing for spelling corrections without this embarassing....

I disagree about the "edited by..." text being silly. They are there to protect your freedom of speech, and not to embarrass you. If a mod edited your text, fairly or unfairly, then he could always be held accountable later...

True, unless the board software can recognise who it is that is editing, author Vs. mod.
Maybe it's just me who feels this way, but when I make a real bonehead
spelling mistake, I've gone as far as delete the post and start over again, especially short one-liners.
