Add "Preview" button to Quick Reply?

[Occasionally Fatal]

Sometimes I like to preview my posts before I post them to check how colors look against the actual post background, which is one of two shades of blue, not dark grey, like the box I am typing in now. The "Preview" button would simply take you to the same place clicking on "More Options" -> "Preview..." takes you. Would remove an extra click.

Think of the clicks.

This has been asked for before and will only happen if someone at XF does it or makes a plugin.

I probably asked this more than once and even got an answer but what's the purpose of having "more options" instead of preview? this a rpgcodex.net thing?

You'd have to ask the team at XenForo as to why they didn't put a preview button there.

Then why did you choose XenForo? This is all your fault DU.

I am honestly surprised with the lack of just a simple "Preview" button as well. Just surprised this had never come up (yet?) with the XenForo devs. But it would be a nice addition some day if they can add it.

Basically we need to harass them more.

Hey, it was a choice between a quick reply with no preview button or no quick reply at all.

Well I see you're already fighting the good fight. On the one hand, I'm slightly embarrassed I forgot about the other thread, but on the other hand, it makes it seem like we have more demand!

They seem very against having more than 2 buttons. That's fine. Replace More Options with Preview, and have Preview take you to More Options with the Preview up. Or simply have More Options display a preview by default? That might be an easier solution to pursue cobbling together.

Gentlemen, success! We now have EQnoble - a man you surely would have heard of as a most avid presser of the preview button - joining our cause! Why his fame is legendary and tales of his pressing of the preview button can be heard from coast to coast.

Surely they will not stand against our united forces now and a preview button in the quick reply area cannot be far away!

That thread is quickly approaching gold status.
