As the title indicates, it's regarding your post options, or rather, the lack of one.

I made a post regarding Awakening, being slightly a perfectionist, I care for a nice layout (some color, listing points, bold and italic etc).


Question:
Why is there no 'Preview' option?



A preview option would help a lot, it'd let people (myself included) check for typos/errors/missing words, check if the coloring/layout is as you want it, etc, without having to post it then edit the posted post.



Sorry if this is seen as 'bothering the BioWare crew' but I really couldn't find this anywhere.



Thanks in Advance, and thank you for your hard work =)

When using the standard form, theres a toggle labeled 'BBCode' which more-or-less does exactly what your wanting it to do...

Edit: Oddly enough, this has worked for me before, but not recently when i just tried...hit n miss, possibly.

The Code is one thing, but when you hit it, you can't use any of the other options, and it still doesn't give ma preview of how the post will look like. And as I mentioned above, preview option will make it that much easier to check for spelling mistakes/grammatical mistakes etc.

*Bump*



Would be swell if I could get an official reply as to why it's not there or if you're planning on adding a preview option.

The forum software doesn't have a preview function built-in. For now you have to edit your post after you've created it.

That's what I've been doing thus far :)



Thanks for you reply, now I know why there isn't one.

Why is Bioware addressing so many of these questions, but not the IE login problem thread which I check so often and so desperately for signs of their valuable magical technical input? :(

I need your help, Bioware. I had to login 7 times to make this message... my sanity is eroding...
