Preview does work the first time. When you click on it, it will take you to a new page where you can preview what you just typed. It doesn't work when you click on Preview on the new page.

Could you please be more specific, do you mean not working the first time you do Preview, or when you are on the second page as I mentioned above?

I am not sure what you mean by second page. I type my post then click on Preview button to check it it just hangs on "Fetching preview ..." so I just click Post button.

Valtam,
Just to let you know, I can confirm same thing here -- forum preview for posts does not work for me either. I posted something here this morning and ran into that problem. Did not see this post at the time, so thought one of my browser plug-ins was the cause. Changed settings on them, but still could not preview my post.
Like Coastie, there is no "second page" -- just a perpetual "Fetching preview" that never resolves on the first click of the "Preview" button.

There are 2 bugs in the Forums at the moment that I know of. Preview - I have contacted SMF, but they have not given a solution that works yet, my last choice from them was to disable all of the mods, and install fresh forum files over the top of the current ones. Quote - not working either, you have to use the bbcode to quote currently. I am hoping both will be fixed once I get time to do the fresh overwrite.

At least these are relativity minor problems with the forum, it is nowhere near as bad when we used MyBB. I hope SMF will provide a good solution to put these problems to rest. Wish the best of luck to ya Valtam.
