"Mandatory" Post Preview?

NumberGirl · Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:09 am Post subject: "Mandatory" Post Preview?

I'm not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me....
In the last 2 posts I made (not including edits) I previewed it, decided it's okay, and was positive I clicked the Submit button.
What happens? Another preview.
It's been happening a while, but I just thought of it as confusing the button order with another forums'.
Has this happened to anybody else?

Hmmm...this has happened to me in the past, but I never said anything about it.

It seems that there is a bit of an error there--

I too have experienced this problem. Whenever I preview my posts to ensure that I get the coding right, trying to submit thereafter leads to another preview post, as though I had previewed my post yet again. The only way my problem is rectified is to go back to the original post (by hitting Back sufficiently) and submitting from there.

I cannot believe I didn't report this before.

This is not an error. If you try to submit within 5 seconds or so of the page loading, it defaults to a preview. This stops automatic spambots from posting. Slow down a little. ^^;

Ah.

Never knew about that. Hopefully this has stemmed the flow, if not completely, at least partially.

Thanks for the heads up.

Oops.
Better cut down a bit on the speed-reading -_-;
Thanks for the replies!
