Delete post button on duplicates
Could we have a delete post button on the preview page when a Mefi post has duplicate links in it? At the moment you have to click new post again to delete the draft.
I think this Pony would be loved by many: previewing before 24 hours
Would it be possible to be able to preview your FPP, prior to your 24 hour time limit? [more inside]
Enhancement Request: Cancel button for comment preview.
I'd like to suggest adding a "Cancel" button during comment preview, next to the "Post Comment" and "Preview" buttons. [more inside]

The position of the Preview and Post buttons is inconsistent. [more inside]
Popup Image Pony / Robot request
Feature or script: popup boxes to display single-image deeplinks in posts and comments? (like the youtube popups.) [more inside]
Preview bug lite
I discovered just now that closing an <a> tag with an </i> tag looks correct in preview but blows up in the actual comment. [more inside]

Pony Request
Would it be possible to view the "Related Posts" section (that shows up at the bottom of pages on the Blue and Green,) when we preview our posts? Is it a bandwidth-intensive operation? [more inside]
Passive-aggressive preview page
Irritable-old-man-pony request: could AskMe guidelines go directly on the new-question page, at least the list of things that don't make a great question? Or maybe... [more inside]
Snoop in preview data?
Has the moderation team ever thought about looking at preview data? [more inside]
P & P
Site design request: Preview and Post buttons, can we make them not so samey? Or not so close together? Or both? [more inside]

You mean everything is going inside?
Small bug on the Post Anon preview page for Ask.Metafilter. When you are previewing your question before you post, under both the "Your question" and the "Extended explanation" boxes, it says both of those boxes will be used for the [more inside] part of the question. On the original Post Anon page, the box descriptions are correct.
I need a pony because I'm too lazy to scroll on foot.
I would like a pony that I can ride to a spot on the page where I can read the comment I'm trying to preview. [more inside]
Cheque this out!

Suggestion: In AskMeFi (and perhaps elsewhere, Idunno), line breaks in preview ought to look/work the same as when published. [more inside]

Related Questions should appear in preview
I'd like to suggest that the "related questions" feature of Ask appear in the preview stage of posting a question. It may cause the asker to find their answer pre-posting (great for people who suck at searching, like me!) or rephrase their question in a manner that's more helpful and therefore cut down on the asker having to clarify repeatedly in the thread.
How to properly edit posts with the preview function.
I had edited this FPP post after previewing it and the changes weren't applied to the post. Did I miss a step or does this have something to do with using Mozilla Firefox? [more inside]

Favorite/flag comments while previewing
Pony request: When previewing comments, can we please still be able to favorite & flag other comments in the thread? Or is there a reason otherwise?
Oops...Could Have Phrased That Better...
Would it be possible to have preview in MeFiMail? [more inside]
On preview, zipperhead.
Previewed HTML works fine, posted HTML less so... [more inside]
If you press the preview button this will disappear
When you preview a comment the post's title disappears both in the browser's title bar and at the top of the page. Is that supposed to happen? Because it seems weird to me.
Line Break Issues in "Preview"
It's pretty annoying that inserting carriage returns shows line breaks as typed in the "preview" window, but the final result is breakless (after all, what's the point of the preview?). I've had unpredictable results manually adding "BR" tags and "P" tags...they seem to sporadically interact with the typed carriage returns and yield vast white space.
If anyone can point me to a workaround, I'd be appreciative. But, really, it'd be fitting if postings posted per the preview, no?
Rendering issues
User javascript for fixing live preview on Opera.
I've been fooling around with user javascript for Opera and fixed a few problems with the live preview. The first problem is that it doesn't appear at all for me. The second problem is the sluggish live update performance when viewing longer threads. My solution is available here, but I wouldn't mind if it found another home, like the metafilter code? For instructions on how to install and enable user javascripts, go to Opera's documentation. [more inside]
Fight iPhone Lag, disable comment autopreview
iPhone-y pony please: a way to supress the automatic inline comment preview to mitigate typing lag. [more inside]
8 Preview: This American Parody
Apropos of nothing: a preview of this week's upcoming podcast.
Enforced preview, please?
For my own sake, what about enforced preview when posting? In the absence of the ability to edit posts, post-post, forcing the preview stage would probably save me some embarassment. Maybe it could even be a user-configurable option.
Preview/post timestamps don't match
I noticed a minor bug when posting a comment earlier. When previewing, all the timestamps are in PST. After posting the comment, everything went back to normal (CST for me). Not a big problem or anything, but a quick search didn't show it having been reported yet.

Code posting woes
Just when I thought I'd figured out how to post code into AskMeFi ... some feature of the back end is changing two single quotes into one single quote?
Comment post preview acting weird
Preview and final post modes have diverged. I keep seeing complaints, after munged or garbled messages, about how 'it looked fine in preview!' [bit more inside]
< breaks comment
I made a comment that had a < symbol. the rest of the br tag showed up, and i imagine the rest of the paragraph would not have.br>
It apparently happens in MeTa as well. I'm not sure it's a "bug" as such, but it might spare someone some embarassment to have a note above the post dialog, or a function that converts them to character entities on post.
I did a search and it seems to have been danced around a couple of times a few years ago.
Also "preview the link" text in MeTa posting seems a little confusing to me.

Is this some trick to make me look stupid?
I just posted a comment that showed no other comments on preview but there were two comments when I did post (a couple of minutes ahead of me so no simultaneous posting). Is this some trick to make me look stupid? Sorry, stupider?
Background color works in preview, but not in post
Hmph. I made a couple of paragraph elements with a background color to highlight colors in this green thread. [more inside]
On AskMe, long comment preview is broken.

new windows on "preview question"?
Every time I clicked on "Preview Question" when I was typing my most recent AskMe missive, a new window opened. Is that supposed to happen? If so, it is slightly strange - I corrected/added to my question a bunch of times and I had five windows open before I knew it!
"Post Comment/Preview If There Are New Comments"
Pony: In addition to "Post Comment" or "Preview", I'd like a "Post Comment/Preview If There Are New Comments." Live Preview is enough for slow-moving threads, but in fast-moving this would be really handy, and I imagine less server-intensive than Preview.
Formatting alert
In this post the formatting of the "posted by..." message is weird.

Problem with previewing
MeFi Bug: Preview posts.
A place to work on posts
It would be nice to have a little place (possibly on one's own user page) where one could work on posts.
