I'd love an edit post function...

What so if I want to write in BOLD I should not use the & lt; around the tag. Instead I should use < ?
And If I remove the space between the & lt; then I get

"I don't get it. Surely the previewing of your message is pretty much the same as just re-reading the box you've just typed in?"

I imagine it'd be helpful for code - You can see if it actually works, then edit accordingly. Otherwise can't see much use.

I'd pay a bit less attention to your code and a bit more to the actual content of your posts, if I was you...

UKDane -

What clever tricks do you know with cursors, then? I know the hourglass one - what other are there?

An RSS feed for latest messages/news would be great.
Also an official 2K podcast :)

Dudly, what language, and for what purpose?

For example if you want to use your own cursor (an image of Tharg's head for instance), then you need an image on your site with a .cur postfix. Add this code: <body style="cursor:url(http://my_cursor_here.cur);"> to the body section of your site, replacing my_cursor_here.cur with the location of the image on your site.

If you are using css, then there are a number of cursor commands:
cursor: auto the default cursor
cursor: crosshair gun-style cross
cursor: default no change
cursor: pointer; cursor: hand the normal link-hand
cursor: wait the hourglass
cursor: text the text-selecting 'I-beam'
cursor: help an arrow with a question-mark
cursor: move crosshair with arrows on the ends

To change the cursor when it hovers over links, use the following code:

<head>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>

Change move to whichever cursor you prefer. To change the cursor on a per-link basis, add the code to each link instead. Like this:

<a href="page.html" style="cursor:crosshair">click here</a>

It is also possible to have completely customized cursors. If you've downloaded or made your own original cursor that you'd like to show up on your page, use this code:

<head>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>

"custom.cur" is the relative URL of your custom cursor file, uploaded to your server space. "pointer" is the general cursor that will be used if the custom cursor is missing, or if this function isn't supported by a viewer's browser.

Oooh. Nice...

It seems that there are problems with the preview function using links containing [backslash]^^ quotes.

I need to try another test link to work on the [backslash]^ problem.
