    Isn't "Go Advanced" really just "Preview Post" ?

    For the longest time, it seemed there was no way to preview a "quick reply" until one day I accidentally clicked on "Go Advanced" and discovered that by doing so, the preview page came up. I couldn't detect any other "advanced" functions that became accessible, so "Advanced" really seems to amount to the "Preview" function. For consistency and to save time (I still have to stop and think about what "Go Advanced" means every so often) would it be possible to relabel the "Go Advanced" button to read "Preview Post"?

    Thanks -

    Burke

    No, it's not the same. It gives you the smiles and more edit options. For a non-graphics kind of guy like yourself, it probably is the same except for preview. :>)

      "Go Advanced" is equivalent to a full reply form, with the edit buttons, smiley box, etc (the same as clicking the Reply button, but it also previews anythig you typed in the Quick Reply box). Quick reply just gives you bold, italic, underline, and quote, unless you type the codes or tags yourself.

        Kevin is it possible to add the IMG button to the quick post as well? Its handy having the Quote button there but the IMG one would be helpful as well for the majority of my posts.
