Thank you. I'm not sure if I'm going to post and comment a lot, I think I will lurk most of the time (I have been lurking here for the past week).

    Is it possible to preview the reply before posting it?

Actually you can preview a reply before posting it.

As soon as you start to write a reply, the words "save draft" come up in the right corner of the reply box. When you click "save draft," your unposted reply comes up in orange ink. You can preview it.

When you are ready to post it, click "edit". A new edit box comes up and you'll see the words "post draft" on the left side. Under the edit box, you have a choice of "yes" or "no." Click "yes" and your previewed and edited post or reply will appear.

There's some subtleties to this. For example, if you are saving and editing a POST, I recommend you copy it all into a new post box, because when you post it, it will be somewhat date-stamped from when you first saved it, so therefore not on your or anyone's front page.

Thank you for the tip.

> Testing right now.

It works as expected.
