U2U 'Preview' doesn't work


I'm using Firefox. Pressing the 'Preview' button before sending a message shows no preview, and just replaces the entered text with a blank (if new message) or the text of the message being replied to (I've had to rewrite a couple of long messages due to this unexpected and harmful behavior).

It's not a browser issue. It's a forum software issue. U2U preview is dangerously broken and should not be used.

I kindly urge you to disable the preview button then. One can lose a long composition and time is valuable, and though I've learned my lesson and can avoid the problem, there's no warning to new users.

Ah... I also had this a few weeks ago after composing a lengthy U2U. I was really pissed. I blamed my crappy Windows XP installation.
