Years ago, forum message editors would have code etc.

So if you quoted someone, it would be like;

Code:
[Quote=4637carlin2816252918]Dont you have to press it again too go back to editing? I think you do, which is a test or ones patience
[/Quote]

So the preview button was useful.

I think now, as forum software develops, the developers feel less need for it because you can see your post realtime in the actual editor like so;

So there's nothing now, that you can preview that isn't actually within the message box already - realtime.

There's no code or tags etc you need to preview.

I do think it was useful to have a preview as separate box so you can preview and then edit on another bit but it's the minority that think that.

I have to long press that magnifying glass icon at top right, then the panel changes to a very pale blue. Presumably that is then ‘Preview’ mode? A quick tap/press does nothing.

Yeah.

The preview function is pointless now really given the preview is in effect realtime in the editor.

What is there to preview that isn't in the message box?
