How (not) to post on NICO.

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

To reply to a post here on NICO, click the Quick Reply button on the bottom of the thread.

Then, click the "Full Editor" button on the lower right, because you didn't read them and assume the right button is the correct one to post.

Image

When the Full Editor opens, click the "Preview" button on the lower left, because the right button was the wrong one last time and you hit this one without reading too.

Then press submit.

Am I the only one who does this? I don't use any other message boards, I don't knwo why I do this so often.

We kinda made the "Submit" button bold... ;)

I'm thinking, in the redesign, we may just eliminate the QR button and use a simplified "Reply" function (or eliminate the "Reply to Post" and keep the QR button).

If I could change anything, I'd have folks review and proof what they wrote BEFORE hitting "Submit."

Well I know it's cause I'm half retarded, but I seriously do this almost half the time I post. I know better, it's just where I naturally go to click.

I'm really just taking a shot at myself here. I was just curious if other people do this or if it's just me.

I use the quick reply button when it's there (cos you know, sometimes that bish just doesn't show up), and have no problem hitting the right button to submit. If I need the full editor, I usually hit post reply, or quote and then go from there. Can't say I've ever had a problem hitting the wrong buttons.

That.

Sometimes I just hit "quote" and delete what the quoted person said if the thread is being laggy.

Do you really need another redesign? NICO with CVT? Maybe a cross-cabriolet version? :chuckle:
