Just noticed this new feature. But it doesn't *do* anything when I click it??!?? What's up with that MH?

What exactly happens when you click on the Preview button? Do you get an error? Thrown back to the main forum page?

Be specific honey so MH can indentify the problem

Exactly what I said: it does nothing. It looks like it's being clicked when I click on it (kwim?).....and that's all. No error message. No re-direction. No swirly *I'm thinking* circle. What I've typed is still there (thank goodness!).

Just.Nothing.

Is there an edit button at the bottom of the box after you click on it?

Testing out the bold.

Hmmm

When I click preview, is it supposed to show me how it will look after posted? Cuz it looks the same with the brackets and not in bold.

The font gets a little larger...

I'm not worried. Just trying to help out so MH can fix it.

update: I don't know if I tried it before, but the smiley faces show up in the preview. However, as of this time right now - the quote and bold don't preview for me.

ETA: I thought I would try to post an image as I never can do it. I thought the image button might help me. It didn't.

The preview has been updated to display the bold, italic and quotes. The text should now also stay contained within the preview box.

Mine doesn't work either.

But then again, I have cookie issues or other technological snafus with S.I. here at work.

I'm sure it will work at home.

Yay! I like the new image button.

I tried to change my name through the Platinum feature but when I pushed the button but it didn't take. It didn't register that I'd clicked anything. The page just stayed the same.

I just wanted to bring that to someone's attention ( hint hint) incase I'm not the only one

Nope.

Nuttin' happened.

Again, I'm pretty sure it's on my end.

Sigh.

Oh MH and DS.........I just posted a minute ago and tried the preview button. Still doesn't seem to *do* anything.

What *should* happen when I click that button?

It's not a big deal because I usually scan over my message before I post it anyway. At this point, I'm just curious......
