Where's The Preview Button?
What happened to preview button when submitting posts?
It now has 2 'Submit Reply' buttons directly under the Message box.
You can still preview in 'Additional Options' but it'd be nice if we could get this changed back to the way it was.

Throw caution to the wind. Post without further consideration like everyone else!

Of course, some of us are neither men nor "sissies." I don't want to "be a man," except that it would be handy when I need to piss outdoors. 
Yes, one can scroll down a few inches further to reach a Preview Post button. But having twin Submit Reply buttons is obviously a bug, and if it's fixed, the site will look better.

Post and then do what I have to do most of the time, push the "edit" button and fix the screwups.

Maybe posts of more severe content require double submit reply buttons

So now it says 'Preview Post' but it still "submits" it. That's actually worse.

I have Doc looking into this. We're not sure it's a bug in the software but might have to do with the facebook connect which I use most of the time.
I see submit replay and right next to it I see preview post. Are you folks not seeing that?
Let us know

Dear Lois,
We do see the same (Submit Reply + Preview Post), however as we were trying to pinpoint: Preview is a feint, it does in fact Submit Reply unprevied
see for yourselves

I read today that once you put your personal data in facebook, it's in the cloud forever.

Yes, we see that, Lois, However, as has been pointed out, the preview button does not actually allow a preview now ... it submits your post. Thus, it's useless for its intended/stated purpose at this time.
Try it for yourself. Click on Preview Post and see what happens.
Edit: I just clicked on Preview Post to post the response above. 
Preview Changes seems to be working fine.
