A "test/preview" button

Given that making post gives you quite the alloted time in between them to understandably prevent spam, a "test/preview" button would be nice. Could implement it for signatures and the like too. Just a suggestion.

I... just realized we don't have that.

Damn! It's such a given that my mind automatically assumed it was there.

That said, there's a weird, almost, sorta preview thing on the post editor, but I often trigger it by accident.

Is that mod only? Because I don't see anything

Also, after a certain time has passed it would seem you're no longer able to edit or delete post you've made. Is that common knowledge?

I honestly don't know.

Yes, that has been a thing for a really long time here (before you joined).

The desktop version has a preview button on the furthest top right of the text editor.

Found it, it's the folded paper with the magnifying glass. Appreciate that. You can't hover over things on mobile to know what they're called. That is that however, I also wanted to get a scope of when a post was made for the massive alloted time that you're issue. Say I make profile post saying "Waffle is my waiffle" and then delete it because I'm bashful like that: Well how will I know when I can make a post again within the hour it makes you wait? You know something along those lines.

Well, your suggestion is to post something, but invisible to everyone except yourself? (i assume in profile pages)
Or your goal is to learn how long you should wait until the wait timer expires?

The latter
We figured out the former kinda. It doesn't really operate like I thought. That for a signature/profile design etc would be good too
