Forum extensions

Any chance of installing the ["Preview Post" forum extension](http://lussumo.com/addons/index.php?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=84)? It'd save me constantly editing my posts for typos. Thanks!

I use a spell checking extension for Firefox - British English Dictionary

I concur - not for spelling, but in terms of negotiating markdown. I think Geoff might agree too.

matt

Exactly, tosscat.

David

Preview now on.

dion

I completely agree, although I am unsure as to what 'markdown' is.

matt

It's a way of entering fancy text that is arguably simpler than entering full-on web code

Sometimes ...
<table width="200" border="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="106">I prefer HTML</td>
<td width="74">So do I</td>
</tr>
</table>

Tables are so 2003.

David

Still perfectly valid for tabular data.

andy

tabular data is so 1982

SimonB

1982 is so 1965

dominic

LeAnn Rimes was born in 1982. While Slash was born in 1965. Both classic years then.

@ Matt I understand what 'fancy text' is, but am not sure what 'full on web code' is

matt

html markup, which takes a lot more typing to get things done than the equivalent in markdown. "trust me, i'm a professional" he says
