Submit goes to Preview

Post by Rudi »

Hi,

I have noticed something recently in the lounge that I cannot recall happening in the past. Since about 2-3 weeks ago, sometimes when I press Submit, the post first goes to Preview mode. The I need to submit again to post it. I have noticed that when this happens, a more recent post has just been added since I clicked "Quote" or Quick Reply. Its quite nice in the sense that if the newest post changes my response, I can then edit it before it goes out. Is this feature a new addition to the coding in the lounge or has it been around and I've just never seen it till now?
Regards,
Rudi

It is a feature of phpBB, the forum software that we use. It has been there since the beginning of Eileen's Lounge (January 2010).

You have been very active lately, so the probability that you're composing a reply at the same time as another Lounger has increased.
Best wishes,
Hans

Its a very nice feature... I've modified my reply with this feature a few times in the past already.
TX for clarifying.
