Suggestions Board Roundup


Community Advisor Report 5 Jul 2013 14:59

5th July 2013 – A roundup of the latest suggestions from the Suggestions Board:


• Posts should have a draft button which can save a draft post as well as a preview and submit button
- As the post can be previewed before it is submitted we don’t think having a draft option is necessary. However if this is something that members are really keen to see implemented, we will look into adding this feature.

It isn't a daft suggestion at all - very sensible. Draft will allow you to save part completed messages and come back to them to add to / edit or what ever you might before committing it.

My browser is set to spell check what I type in anyway so this sint an issue. Oops! sint needs to be changed, it tells me.

The answer to the last poster's question is in the OP.

Can you explain what you perceive to be the difference between 'preview' and 'draft'

Nothing complicated or time consuming about using spell checker,Even easier to use auto correct when typing

Oh Reggie - so I forgot the last line - to edit any errors.
I don't spell check small posts like this - would be so complicated. So much easier to Google and search the words then ctrl C the correct spelling :-)

Why is typing in Word any more wasteful of energy and time than typing in a message box on GR?

And on Word, you have the option to employ the spelling/grammar tool!

And, in any case, what is the EDIT function for, if not to give you the chance to amend any errors?

Typing in Word is wasted energy and time.
Would help some people like me who are not so nimbled fingered anymore and hopeless at grammar & spelling.

You could always type a reply in Word or something similar before adding a post.

Posts have a Preview and Submit button.

What I suggest is a Draft button which can save a draft post before final posting instead of a Preview that can't be saved.
