Well, I assumed it was already 2 forms until I looked at the actual HTML. To
me the horizontal rule between the 2 sections delineated the forms. If others
assert they would be confused by 2 forms in this fashion what can I say?
Perhaps there is a way to clarify it so that it is more clear to those who
might be confused. How about if the wording at the Post button in the top
section of the Message Preview page said:
"POST the above message or continue editing below"
Maybe there are other ideas that would help clarify it as well.
I liked Leonard's idea of making the Message Preview page read-only with a
button to go to an edit page which would have the preview text, an edit box, and
a preview button.
But in all honesty, I think that if people can grok FTX they can grok
multiple forms on a page. It's a pretty common occurance.
