Is it possible to have a parody comment-preview function, just like the parody-submission preview function? It's very hard to catch typos, etc. in the tiny little comment box, and one sees lots of typos. Or even posting a comment under the parody author's name instead of one's own. (*not* picking on anyone recently; I've done that myself.)  And a lot of commenters submitting a second comment to correct the first.

Having a WYSIWYG preview, on the eye-easy pastel background (thanks!!!), would eliminate a lot of these mistakes and corrective postings. I'm so grateful that I can preview before posting *here*! >wink<

I realize it's a jump in bandwidth usage, but most parody comments (unlike mine, lol) are just a line or two, or even just a few words. So even if there is an average of ten comments per parody, the total transmitted by all probably isn't much more than previewing a parody before submission. And comments can probably be fixed in far fewer previews than a lengthy parody.  So, maybe not so much additional bandwidth.

Hopefully, the same scripts and templates used for the parody preview could be modified quickly and easily to attach to the comment button.

Does anyone else support this?

If it's too major a task, or too expensive in bandwidth, OK.  Idea! Change the ads on each comment preview; then you're getting paid for the additional ad displays, which pays for the comment-preview bandwidth!  8) 8) 8)

Comment previews? I usually catch typos since my web browser underlines them in red. Cool idea, though. I do have 1 objection: people with dial-up will complain about one additional step to slow them down further. But I got hi-speed internet recently.
