Preview - a small request

[Guest]

I'd like to see links be active when a pre-posted message is in Preview mode so I can test the link is going where it should without having to post it first.

Another minor item re composition mode and preview: Images appear in composition mode. I'd rather have images show just in Preview and remain as code in composition. With code only it is much easier to move/arrange the images. I suppose that assumes the BB software has tags wrappering the image that it can display. I can imagine some may prefer this functionality remain the way it is now.

Okay. I just tested inserting an image by wrappering a link to a .jpg with [ IMG ] ... [ /IMG ] tags. (remove spaces inside tag.) So tags are available and only the code and link appear in the edit box. This is a work around for my second item.




Thoughts?

Thanks for your input Tim!

I can check about the first. I keep finding out there are things the software can do that I'm not aware of. There's a whole subsection of coding but sometimes am afraid to try something in fear of screwing up the site.

About the second. I don't disagree. That was something that I noticed too when playing with the test version. I agree it's nice to be able to position text and pictures. I will add both to the list to speak to tech support next time we talk.
