Rather than an editing page coming up in a new window or including the original message in our answering post, I've got an idea. Don't know if it's good but I'd like to mention it.
I absolutely *love* frames on web pages. Everything's still on the same screen, & one doesn't have to keep going back to see what the previous page was. How about having the original post in a left frame & the answering post box in the right frame? Everything's nicely accessible that way.
I'd also love to see an optional "review your post" button along with the "submit your post" button. Reviewing a post would do what the submitting a post does now, BUT the "submit your post" button would directly post it to the forum.
*OR* we could have a button that posts the message directly along with a small edit button underneath if we did wish to change it. I always read my posts over before I submit them anyway. If I make a mistake & miss catching it before posting, I'll miss it even with editing.
This is all very clear in my head, Dr. Bob, but I'm not sure if I actually have explained it well enough for you, or anyone else, to understand, or whether I've left out information.
