  Re: Double posting.
 
(...) No, nothing to do with server load... It has to do with the stack paradigm of web browsers in general...hitting the Back button _really_ brings you back to where you were (assuming the browser isn't buggy), as opposed to a facsimilie of where (...)

(...) I wish edit boxes were draggable interactively like window corners! (Seriously! :) Hmm, I wonder if there's some JavaScript or DHTML thingie by which this could be handled interactively on the client side? --Todd (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) I neglegted to answer Todd's question about the behavior. Yes, the page resets (99% of the time - I've recently been noticing that _sometimes_ when I return to the new LEGO listings on eBay after a search that my search is still in the form). (...)

  Re: posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) Aah, sounding good. Another little thing, can we have a larger edit window (or is there any way to make it re-sizeable, it seems silly to me to have to be only looking at about 20 lines of text when about 60 fit on my screen).

  Double posting.
 
(...) that (...) True. that's the only way to SOLVE it. But double posting is due to human error. This human errs because there are more steps than necessary. I claim I'd make less mistakes if the path from post initiation to return to my original (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general)

There IS behaviour on some server generated pages where IE will prompt you to repost the (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  posting preview (was: Re: Double the Fun)
 
(...) How about an automatic edit box below the preview, with a pair of buttons on the left (preview and post) and a cancel button on the right (just like the FTX page editing thingie but with different button labels)? That way you could just (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general)

  preview
 
Todd, Thanks for adding the preview function. Can we also have a post button for when we don't want to preview? The deal is, when I'm including a link I want to preview so I can test the links. When I'm not including a link I don't want to preview (...) (26 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Indeed. I was reading too fast, thanks for the clarification. It's certainly of historical interest, at any rate. ++Lar (26 years ago, 30-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
