I am in favor of the change. But note (as I think I mentioned in chatter early on) that when a similar change was done, it resulted in an increase in the number of duplicate postings (as people failed to find the "edit" link before finding their brower's "back" button). Or was it an opposite change was done (for one section) and the frequency of dups appeared to drop (for that section)?
The work to deal with people hitting "back" and then hitting "create" again probably needs to be raised in priority now that this change has been made.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
