I would like to see these buttons separated a little. Or maybe even on opposite sides. That way dummies like me wouldn't hit the wrong one prematurely![]()
If you submit a post prematurely, and you do not think you can edit and fix it well within the allotted 5 minutes:
1. Edit the post with the 'Advanced' editor.
2. Select all of the contents in the editor window. ( Ctrl-A )
3. Copy or Cut the contents into the 'clipboard'. ( Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X )
4. Delete the post.
5. Start new post.
6. Paste the contents into the editor window. ( Ctrl-V )
7. Continue editing.

Simple for you, but what about us dummies?
Why can't we just delete and start over?
You can if you wish:Simple for you, but what about us dummies?

Like I said, the ultimate answer is to separate the two buttons to avoid the mistake in the first place!
"I have to agree with Ugly..."No, the ultimate answer is to take an extra half second and think about what you're doing, rather than have a person need to go in and go through the hassle of changing the site around to cater to one person who is willing to pay attention to their actions and be responsible for themselves.

Just in case what Rick said doesn't translate well in the Philippines -- Benjamins are our $100 bills. He used a plural, so he's offering $200 or more.So, really, what would it cost to have your web master mover that 'submit reply' button to the left side of the page? I'll pony up the Benjamins for it.
I'm no web designer, but I've watched a few of them at work, and it really shouldn't take much more than dragging that button from one spot to another in the design/layout.
Exactly!I'm no web designer either, and it may be that easy if the design is yours to modify, but our forums run on vBulletin (one of the most popular commercially available forum programs) and as a result there are a lot of limits to what is modifiable by the licensee.
Maybe he could, but I really did try to learn coding (.html, because .css was just becoming popular while I was struggling with .html) for two years and couldn't get anywhere. I'd learn one thing, but when I tried to learn the next, the first thing fell out of my brain.Exactly!
RoboOp could do virtually-anything-he-wanted-to-do if the site was based on some 100% open-source software like phpBB.

It is not my intent to make any insult about the current site; he has done a fine job with it so far...
Only -- with regard to 'customization' -- he could do "a whole lot more" with 100% open-source software.
( I would be "more than happy to help him all I could" if the site were 100% open-source. However, I "don't do" [ commercially available ] 'proprietary' systems. )
