Speaking for myself, as a typing challenged poster, I value very highly this feature, that Florian added in his revisions to the forums last year.
For a long time I realised that, being on a dial up, previewing any topic reply or editting one if it contained image links was slow, but it usually got there eventually so that I cold check for typos spacing etc and that images were correctly appearing.
However it has been noticeably taking longer to open and then yesterday I kept getting silly "errors on page" notification and a refusal for the preview to happen,.Now today it point blank refuses to function. Is this just me and my setup or has anybody else noticed this problem??

OK OK it would appear that my Internet Exploder has imploded.I also have on this PC the Firefox browser which correctly allows me to preview corfid postings.I tried reinstslling IE6 from a CD but itthat changed nothing, the problem is it is virtually imopossible to remove Internet Explore so that a complete reinstall may be accomplished so on this PC I will just have to getused to using Firefox and rebuilding my cookie base or download , install and evaluate IE7. Or get my new desktop finished.
Anyway threre are several oither annoying problems with this computer's browser so it's a powerful spur to getting my new setup 100% operational and functional pronto
