No, I just edit like crazy after I post it. I only use preview whenever I'm doing something fancy with the code, to make sure I've done it right.

no.

Actually, I only ever do if I have a wall text to see how I could easily break it up or if my spoilers and such are working.

I only do when I post reviews, to make sure that all of the formatting worked properly.

I ALWAYS preview. Even if I typed "The Cat Died", I ALWAYS preview.

Its pretty creepy.
Also, no offense to cat lovers.


(I even previewed just before I posted this!)

If I ever type in the scripts, such as or [spoiler] I always preview it, just to make sure they worked.
Other than that, I usually just reply.

Yes, it allows me to quickly proof read it and make sure any formatting code I've used within it is working properly. Shorter posts I don't typically preview, but I don't typically write short posts.

I have a really bad habit of rambling on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on [small]and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.......[/small]

We apologize, it appears this poster has trapped himself in an infinite loop. Please wait while we reboot him.

Only when I use scripts, then I will preview. But never on a normal post like this.

There needs to be some options in between "yes" and "no." I usually check, but it's because my posts are usually either really long, or full of BB code. I have no reason to click preview on a simple post like this; besides, my browser's spell check feature doesn't work on the previewed text, only on the entry box.

Not all the time. Only when I'm trying to sound learned (which is rare) or am starting a new thread.

No there doesn't. The name of this thread is "Do You ALWAYS "Preview" Before You "Post"".
If I made an option called "I always sometimes do", that would make no sense.

Yes, after I use spell check. Hell most of the time, I just end up saying "screw this" halfway through a post and don't bothering to finish it.

More or less, including Posts I don't even planning on Posting to begin with.
Come to think of it, sometimes I don't look at the preview at all. I just hit it out of habit.

I always hit it when I'm using... Using...
