Yes, you can prepare drafts of post before posting and save them 'off the forum' where they cannot be read by anyone. Any drafts will be saved until you chose to publish it. This allows you to write longer post form which ever computer you have access from and to check them before publishing.

Go to any forum, click new post, write it, click save and it will be kept in;

User Control Panel > overview > manage drafts

until you want to publish it.

Then to publish;

click load draft > preview or submit.

• Quick reply button; see bottom of each topic to do just that. No page reload, no formatting, no quotations. Just simple text for those simple answers.

• New shortcuts; see to the right of the posting window for new shortcuts to allow you to express commonly used words by using simple shortcuts. Quick but unfortunately requiring the limiting of "smilies".

• New bbcode buttons and shortcuts; see above posting window for a series of new buttons including, "Search" to allow you to make a quick automatic link to a forum search of the same word, Destruction, e.g.;

Code: Select all
[Search]Destruction[/search]

See also; "Website" (website link), hr (horizontal line), mp3 (audio files), strike out etc.
