So, I think its time again for another vote, as some members have come to me requesting to be rid of it. Do we keep the post preview (That shows what you're typing as you type it) or be rid of it? Don't forget to post your reasoning!
I chose no... if you're writing a long post, its bouncy and annoying to do a whole lot of scrolling. Not to mention, the codes don't always work properly in it.

No, for the same reasons as Sway, but also because if you leave out a small aspect of a code, it doesn't catch it and you have to go into either post preview, or modify post to catch it and fix it anyways. Plus it's always been a tad glitchy on my computer (cuz my puters' a tard like that).

I chose no as well, for the same reason as Sway. I mean, geez, all of my posts are long, so you have no idea how annoying it is to have it pop out all the time a make me scroll down like a mad woman o.O Not to mention the codes normally don't work there, or at least not all of them.

I'm in a minority here by the looks of it, I really like the post preview, I love how it looks, it gives my writing body that I can see as a whole without having to read from a tiny box. Also when I read over the preview I find it easier to notice the typos (dunno why but I do XD) anyways I'd be sad to see it gone, I'd like it to stay '^^

I vote yes. While it doesn't show codes correctly, it lets you see what the codes you put in are doing to your post. Besides, you still have to click post preview to see if the codes are correct. The preview just might help you remember what codes you put in if you use a lot of codes. And while there is some scrolling involved, you'd have to scroll anyways if you wanted to check your word count or use other various things on the side menus xD Just my input

It seems to me that people is confusing the actual preview (where there's the click involved) with the auto-preview. I'm against the auto-preview, not the other Preview thingie. The one that involves clicking is actually quite useful to check your post and codes before posting. Or is it me that got things wrong here? I thought this was about the auto-preview option o.O

No Cere, you're right, we're talking about the auto preview xD. I voted Yes, becuase I do like to see how my post is getting on as I'm typing it, and whilst it can be quite annoying with its lack of seeing certain coding errors, In general I think it is really useful.

Actually, the word count is already there for you (Though it includes codes) at the bottom by the buttons where you hit submit.
Oh! and any votes that are "I really don't care" Will have a coin flipped to see what way they will go.

It is a little annoying but it does help with the codes.
