More confusion while posting

[Sciguy]

barry:
I just posted into Wacco Talk and after writing it, I clicked on Preview Post. I thought that afterwards, as in the past, I would be able to come back and edit what I had written. I looked in vain for an EDIT or RETURN button. It did not exist. All I could find was again PREVIEW POST or SUBMIT NEW POST. I assumed that the words NEW POST referred to the one I was previewing but I wasn't sure it would not just open up a new blank screen for a really NEW post. In fact it was all a confusion that I could not find a way out of. Eventually I decided to click on the Submit button and hope that that did not post a second copy of what I was already looking at as a Preview. My post existed in two forms. One looked like a preview. The other looked like a beginning post. Was I supposed to edit the latter? I had no idea. There was no guidance.

When you start a new thread by clicking the POST button, it brings up a window to enter your new post/thread.

When you hit PREVIEW POST, it brings up a non-editable preview of your post, followed by an edit window where you can change your post.

The PREVIEW POST button will repeat the process with any changes you make, and the SUBMIT NEW POST will post whatever you have in the current editable text.
