It is summer time, not lego time (= winter time), so I haven't felt this before
now.
I haven't seen this in my newsreader, but I can imagine that it might look
really funny/odd.
But leaving that of, here is my first suggestion:
I will only post plain text anyway, and it would be easier to have a "post"
button next to the "preview". I think the preview is only needed when posting
FTX messages, an plain text message I know what will look like.
Part2: This attention button is even more anoying!
