I can't find an option for this but is there any way of speeding up the posting/editing process?

After writing or editing a post, I have to click 'Preview', then 'Submit' and then 'here' to go to the post I've just done - a right PITA, to be honest.

Why do you HAVE to preview? I can understand it being an option but forcing it when the forum uses a WYSIWYG editor is pointless.

No option to go straight to my new/edited post?

After you have a certain number of posts, and have been here long enough you will no longer have to preview your post 1st.

And it will go to your new post from the "here" screen after a couple of seconds, as it tells you.

If it doesn't, you're mostly likely script and ad blocking and will therefore be getting karma raped to the point where you'll have to keep previewing your posts. Wink

Pfft. Back in the day, as noobs, we also had to use the spellchecker. If we didn't, the grasshopper would threaten to punish us.

How long ago does something have to be in order for it to be referred to as 'back in the day'?

I never had to preview my posts when I joined. It's all you johnny-come-latelys that brought that about.

You've got to have been a member of the NSR125.com forum to qualify for the use of that phrase Wink.
