| Post subject: | a question about posting |
so, when you post, do you press Click Here to view your message, or Click Here to return to the forum? i go for the message when i put in a BBcode object, to check it worked, but when it's just text, i go to back to the forum. (please don't criticise my poll this time) |

I do a little bit of both. I usually check the post right afterwards for spelling errors and the what not. |

I look at the message, it is a habit now. But I always preview the post (with the preview button...duh) so I usually click the Idex button in the top right or the forum button in the middle, it depends on where I want to go. |

I always click back to the forum. If I had bbcode in the post I preview it until it's right, if not I don't really care. Of course, a lot of the time I use quick reply which automatically brings you to the post. |

I just sit there and look at the screen for a few seconds, and it automagically refreshes and goes to the post. |

I always view my message to see if there are any spelling or grammatical errors I missed. |

More often than not, I just close the tab. But otherwise I do view-your-message, 'cause I like to make sure I didn't make any errors. |

Actually, I click the back button, I click the short-term history button on the back button. Then I go to the forum. It's just a little OCD that I don't like my history to be crammed with a bunch of history. |

Sometimes I look at my post, sometimes if I'm completely sure it's perfect, or I'm in a rush, I just return to the forum. ramrod wrote: I do a little bit of both. I usually check the post right afterwards for spelling errors and the what not.
Which you seem to make a lot of.

I almost always click "Return to forum". The majority of the time I end up back at my post is when I don't click "return to forum" in time or I'm browsing another website as the post is processing. If I ever eed to check to make sure any code is working, I just click view preview beforehand. |

I ALWAYS click "View your message.". Why? Well, I know it doesn't really matter much on a forum, but I always check for spelling and grammatical errors. I also like to see if my HTML coding worked out and if my post looks... well... cool! |

Heh, no matter how many times you look over your message, it never fails that something slips through the cracks. Usually I'll catch that right when I hit submit. So "view your message" is a habit now. |

I hear you man, I can't even begin to recall the many times when that has happened to me. It's goofy yes, but I like all my posts to be picture perfect... in my eyes at least. |

So "view your message" is a habit now. Yeah, right after i hit submit, but before the screen changes is usually where I see my mistake(s). I freaking hate when I do that.

I don't worry about typos that much, I pretty much just check my work as I'm typing, then preview it just to make sure. So yeah, I click here to go back to the forum. What're YOU gonna do about it!?!?!?

I go back to the forum if I'm consciously browsing. No idea why. I just do. But if I have multiple windows open and it automatically goes to my post, I will fix my stupid mistakes and the like. |

I'm guessing that was intentional? |

Yeah, like a lot of others, I'll only check my message if it contains a picture or link or summat, or if I'm editing another user's post. Otherwise I just go back to the forum. Oh, and I'll check if I'm voting in a poll and I want to see the results. |

I almost never view it, which is why the preview page is there. Unless I see a mistake at the last second. |
