I changed my ‘theme’ to Simple Sam. Seems easier. ---

You hit the nail on the head – a chat site rather than a message board. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Now, I wish I could figure out how to review my reply before I post it. Look down at the bottom of the reply window; on mine, at least, in the lower right corner it says “show preview”. Click on that, and the preview shows up to the right. When I first came over that seemed to be automatically turned on, and I was confused because I was seeing everything I was typing twice, as I typed it. But all you need to do to get rid of that is to click “hide preview” in the lower right of the preview box. Having said all that: it doesn’t really seem to be the same sort of preview function as the old board had, because it doesn’t look just like the post would. It does show how the quote would appear, though. ---

Huh. I’m not seeing an icon at all; I’m seeing the words “hide preview” or “show preview”. Different theme? Different browser? Different OS? Computers are weird. – and I may have to turn off being notified of replies, that certainly increases the distraction factor when trying to get something else done! ---

I was thinking a combo of the two themes would be perfect. The text blocking and gray-space of Material, the de-cluttering of Simple Sam. ---
