Re: forced preview in user settings

I'm a bit startled because whenever I write a comment, I only have a preview button.

I am quite fine with that because I like to double-check my writings anyway, and I am sure that I have never checked that option in my settings.

Maybe the issue is related to some "session" or cookie lifetime? Or you can check the button, but not uncheck it because the software doesn't distinguish between "option off" and "option not set" (BTST)?

I'm a bit startled because whenever I write a comment, I only have a preview button. Right, because you never enabled "No Force Preview". If you enabled "No Force Preview", then it would show both `preview` and `create` on the first form (edit: because it's not forcing you to preview). If you don't enable "No Force Preview" (the default), then your first form only shows the `preview` button (edit: because it is forcing you to preview).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah you are right, I misunderstood the effect of enabling this feature. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]

I'm a bit startled because whenever I write a comment, I only have a preview button. Same for me. I'm sure it has been this way ever since I joined (2011).	[reply]

I'm in favour of forced preview. But if this setting is buggy, there might be further trouble. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]
