"Post Comment" button is too close.

Pony request: Could the "Post Comment" button in the realtime preview be moved a bit more to the right? As wendell noted, it's too much of a hair-trigger.

I thought we already covered this. Put duct tape across the bottom inch (or two, depending on your resolution) of your monitor.

There's NOTHING duct tape can't fix!

I made a similar gaffe in an earlier thread, wendell. We're both in the same club...

alright, I coded up a little greasemonkey script that moves the "post comment button" all the way over right.
However, I'm currently in between hosts. I'll post it the address in this thread sometime tomorrow.

I just put a little piece of electrical tape on my screen where the post button is, so I'm not enticed by it's early posting folly goodness.

OK, just cleaned it up a bit. Now instead of moving the post comment button all the way right, it just switches the preview button and the post button. Script is here. Works in the blue|Gray|Green. If you find any bugs just holler.
