    OK, I always screw up the spoiler tags. Is there any way we could either also specify [spoilers] as a spoiler tag, or add a word filter where [spoilers] is stored/displayed as /[spoiler/]? If not, that's cool, but I really don't want to ruin something for someone in the time it sometimes takes me to catch my error.

    There's a "preview post" feature.

    And it can be a total PIA if you're like some of us that can't remember every single code and symbol to make something right. We can be "previewing" forever trying to make it exact.

    I like Kyle's request. I would definitely make use of that feature! :techman:

    Chris, I'm going to try to say this nicely.

    You're being kind of a jerk here.

    Think I don't know there's a Preview Post feature, or a code list? The thing is, they aren't fun to use, especially with the way the board locks up. Hell, at this point, I Ctrl-C every one of my longer posts just so that I don't have to rewrite it.

    I just think that this isn't a terribly bad feature to implement, especially when we add smilies more frequently than it rains in Seattle.

    Nick's right. The feature being requested is already available.
