Hello imaginearea! Honestly, I always press the submit button immediately. But before sending it, I usually check first like maybe there's some typos or not. I guess pressing the preview button is just a waste of time especially if the server is slow..

Another brave soul...I am a bit anal about the way things look...I'm a bit of a perfectionist and even though I know it takes me longer to press the preview button, I still press it...would you believe I sometimes hit the preview button 3 or 4 times before posting, especially if its a long post. Sad...I know.

I hit the submit button immediately. ^-^ I read my posts though before hitting the submit button, just to make sure I don't have any typos.

Oh you are so brave to hit the submit button immediately. I seem to have blind spots while I'm still in edit mode, so I don't trust my eyes while in edit mode, as soon as I switch to preview mode I often see at least 3 things that I need to fix...I wonder why that is?

I no longer press the preview button when I make a post, because on several occasions I have lost the post entirely. I tend to paste my longer posts in my word processor first, as it will show up any grammatical errors and typos. But also, if I paste in word, and leave it open, there is no chance of losing what I have written even if this site crashes. For short posts though, I rarely both except to give it a very quick read-through before posting. :-) Derek

If I'm posting from work then I preview before submitting because the keyboard there is ancient and misses out the spaces.
When I'm at home I don't - and I miss out the spaces all by myself

I admit that I am bad and do not preview before posting, but often my computer acts funny when I try (I'm on Vista unfortunately), but I do read my posts first for glaring errors! I acctually think I have inproved my typing here at this site in the past few weeks, so I know I gained something out of this experience!

I never hit the preview button, although a couple of times I hit preview by accident lol. Before I hit submit, I re-read it over to make sure stuff is spelled right, and that I haven't forgotten something I wanted to say.

I dont preview my posts I usually just write the posts and send. I think most of my posts are OK. I dont have a problem with sending the posts they are just there and need no improvement as far as I am concerned. i really dont care who reads or comments on mhy posts. They are just posts to me and ones that I am not too concerned with.
