Subject: Edit a previewed post

Message:
Can someone please tell me how to edit a post once it is in preview. I cannot find an edit button.

Message:
As far as I know, there isn't such a button. All I can do is copy the message BEFORE hitting "Preview/Post." Then, if it's not right, I hit "back" in my browser. Sometimes, the message will still be there. Sometimes it's not, so then I can paste my message back in and edit it.

The reason to copy before previewing is that things like links and fen won't copy correctly from the preview page. If you have plain text only, though, then you can safely copy from the preview page before hitting "back" in case your message is gone.

In the clubs/team forums

Message:
There is an 'edit message' area under the preview post. In the normal forums though, it's not available, and I just use the 'Back' button, never had any troubles with that...
