Do you often preview your comments here before posting?

Hi! I don't normally preview my response here in mylot discussions. At first,when I was still a newbie here I used to preview my response but I noticed that it will just consume my time so what I did was to re-read my response before posting it. The only drawback is -there are times when typographical errors or missed out words can no longer be corrected or inserted because once the response are already posted you can no longer edit them. :D I think we had the same predicament and I feel ashamed when I see grammatical errors in my post hehehe. :D

I'm guilty of not doing this all the time. But when I feel that I posted a comment that is important or I gave it a substantial answer, I make it a point to preview it. And whenever I do so, I really find some grammatical and typographical errors in it. I think it really should be a must to review our comments before hitting the "post response" button so that our readers would better understand our message.

I always do, in fact I type all my responses on to Word, spell check it and paste it on MyLot. Yes it does take w lot longer but I can’t help wanting to see what I’ve posted and to make sure it is as correct as possible, mind you I have made spelling mistakes before despite all my checking (LOL)!

I will only preview what I am writing in the window where I am typing to check and see if there are any blaring spelling errors. Most of the time there really aren't too many of them, but there are times that I do catch myself spelling something terribly. That said, I think that it really is a pain in the behind to take the time to preview the response before you go ahead and post it, I'm all about doing things quickly.

Hi jlamela! Yes I often do. Apart from the spelling, I check the grammar and the contents as well. I just feel good doing it.

i won't see preview,because it is time consuming and boring to me.So,i will post comments directly.

No in reality i never check the preview funtion when i post here on mylot!!May be in some cases it would be useful also to check some grammar or words that you can type not in a correct form..but anyway in general i post and stop without preview.

I don't normally preview it unless by accident or when I've got a super long reply, I want to make sure it's spaced well enough that people can actually read it without being brain damaged, other than that, my short posts don't really need a preview.

In my stay in mylot and do more posting. I never preview my comments but directly posting it.

Usually unless I'm short on time.

yeah i have same problem of time. so i do not preview my posts any more since it takes up a lot of time. but it is wise to preview since we know what spelling and grammar mistakes we have made. now i just try to read while i write in the discussions to ensure that i do not make any mistakes. just to let you know while replying to this discussion i made 3-4 mistakes and revised them before submitting without previewing it.

Nope, what is the point. I've accidentally lost messages by doing that. I use firefox so I don't have to worry about spelling issues. It underlines the words I misspell right away so that I can take care of it.

yes i often preview my comment or discussion and i want to know how many members response of discussion i made for it and i want to answering them some times but often because that is important to me if i not see all i response comment and discussion i started for all friends and members my lot

No, I never. You're right, it is time consuming. Even I wonder why we should still add 'tag', why don't mylot just put that below our post form? Sometimes, it needs some minutes for me to load the page. Sometimes there is 'bad request'. I still can't copy paste my own post, since my rank is less than 500. So, I just be patient coping with such situation. I rewrite and rewrite again!

sometimes i do. if i am replying to a post from my email then no i don't read the comments. but if i log on to mylot and find things to respond too, then i will read some of the comments before i reply to a post.

don't worry, u are not alone. English is not my native speaker, so i often done some mistakes in words and grammar. but i take it as a process learning to improve my english

I never preview my comments. After I have typed it I usually look it over to see if there are any mistakes and if it makes sense. If there is anything wrong, I make the changes and then post it. Sometimes I forget, but that is what I usually do!

Yes, I do take good care to see that my replies and comments are free from grammar and spelling mistakes. If you are using Mozilla Firefox then it does take care of your grammatical errors.

I almost never preview anything. If I have a doubt about my grammar/redaction, I simply re-read it from the edit box again, I don't need any preview for this. The only real use I find for it is if I use any styles, or icons on it, to be sure I don't make a mistake with the MyLot Code.

No I did never make use of that "Preview Response" feature while adding comments or replying to discussions as I do not think that I make any mistakes while writing or posting in discussions. It can happen a few times that mistakes occur while writing fast and we do not tend to realize it then. But anyways I do not preview them as it already takes longer to post that response, add tags and wait :D. So I don't think I would be using preview response option in the future as to waste more of my time in posting here :). That feature is handy though for many people here in mylot and its always a good option to have that button there :)
