Preview Post

[Caster]

I know I ain't real bright, but where'd the "Preview Post" function go?  I'm sure it's here somewhere.  

 

When posting pics and/or videos, it's very handy.

I've mentioned that also, it's just gone, even if editing existing one. I guess the live WYSIWYG nature of the thing is considered rock solid enough not to include it now.

Another, admittedly quite minor, thing is that posts are no longer numbered in a thread. Was handy way to mention a particular response during a discussion without having to quote it.

They say that post previews are coming back in a future release.  What they had hoped was that the new editor would make it unnecessary because it is very close to what you see is what you get.

You can still do this via the Sharing icon at the top right of each post.

Can get URL link to the individual post, sure, but meant used to be able to say "see post 24" or whatever.  Again, a very minor nit.

My suggestion is a better way of doing this.  Post numbers are not concrete; they can change depending on moderator actions taken in a thread or if a thread is split apart.
