You know for all its faults, the one thing I like about Ebay is the listing
preview screen that shows exactly how your listing will appear.  I have
found many errors in my auctions on this preview page.

On Lugnet I find my errors when I read my message just posted and then smack
my hand against my head wondering how I could have missed such an obvious
error.

The only way to test a URL in a message is to click on it in the message.
I rarely cut and paste URL's, and frequently mistype them.  Cutting and
pasting can be goofed up too.

Todd: could we get a preview option like slashdot?

Would that increase the chances that people would actually test their • URLs
before submitting their post?

What's so difficult about a testing a URL -before- pasting it into a • message?
