Missing Preview Button

adelphiaUK — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 10:32:50 GMT

When I use my tablet (Android 12) to post a message in PORTRAIT mode there is no "Preview" button. If I use it in LANDSCAPE mode or request the DESKTOP SITE then the "Preview" button appears in the top right of the text input.

I know the site has been around a while but can't the "Preview" button be put alongside or above the regular "Post" button; after all, it is common practice isn't it to preview first?

Common practice is for a button to disappear altogether, @adelphiaUK - requiring a cache clear or flush - particularly on Mobile devices, unless you remember to switch to "Desktop View" before you start typing ...

There is a thread somewhere about glitches like that: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/Welcome-to-our-new-look-community/m-p/1477460/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8bWVudGlvbl9zdWJzY3JpcHRpb258S1M0Vk5EWkEyUUY5OEJ8MTQ3NzQ2MHxBVF9NRU5USU9OU3xoSw#M35879

I meant common practice for people to preview before sending 🤣 and oh, it's there now...
