How many of you anal freaks use the preview feature?
I just hit it by accident. It's basically the same as if you don't use it. What gives?

Did a preview feature salesman do a shill job on Skinner?

1. Sure I do,
especially if I'm typing a url for a pic from memory or if I'm posting a poll table from Teixeira or Bowers or somebody and I want to make sure the "plain text" text box is working my mojo.

3. That's when I use it, too.
I like to make sure I posted a URL or a pic correctly before sending it to the board.

4. All the time.
I can't stand typos. Also, I want to make sure a photo or url shows up right.

I'm about to use it right now!

6. Better than seeing some stupid mistake after you post
I normally only use it when I include a link or picture.

8. I use it.
But only when I'm posting a picture or cutting and pasteing something big.

I've been known to neglect hitting "copy" and pasteing something completely inappropriate.

the image appears and not just a white box with a red "x"

11. Using HTML Formatting Demands a Preview
Otherwise, you can end up with something looking very bizarre.

13. Whenever I link a pic, I have **got** to preview!
I know, it's obsessive, but I've just got to check before I post in a pic thread.
