Why can't we preview private messages? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I always preview my posts, which is why they (in my humble opinion) look very good. Even when I just want to send a quick response and try to use that edit box at the bottom of the thread, I almost always end up being so uncertain about my post that I copy and paste it to the other post page so I can preview it.
Just imagine how I feel when I PM someone...

So, my suggestion is to add a preview facility to private messaging!

Already been proposed.

Heh, who do you think got the reply preview for the threads?

Eh, must of been disabled until I recommended it enabled.

Because I swear remembering not being able to preview posts; there was a Reset Form button though instead.

Remember, Hal?

And yes, Sin, I was about to mention that. But I wasn't entirely sure.
