Merged [Merged topic] Where is the preview button?

Small suggestions to Kunena 1.6 about usability.

1. Topic icons should be clickable, like those in avatar gallery are. We should choosing them by clicking on image/icon not only on radio button.

2. Why remove PREVIEW button beside Submit Cancel button?? I know that is now in editor toolbar but this is most using option for many so should be close Submit button to check before sending it to world.
I prefer that should be the same: "Display a live message preview pane below the edit area" and maybe after click can be a little bit enlarge like it was in K1.5? Or even auto height to message if it possible?

3. Last thing is missing class in ux of admin panel. Some part of styling is inline in code so I cannot override that part by css. Please see on screens.


Code inline:



Give incomplete final result styling:



Those icons with defined overriding css classes looks like this:




Thank you Kunena Team for greatest joomla forum ever done! Soon I add to you Polish translation K1.6.

1) Good idea

2) Also a good idea. I have to agree that the top/bottom and side-by-side preview buttons are not intuitively located on the message editing screen and they might be better located nearer to the Cancel/Submit buttons.

3) I don't understand this because I don't understand the term "ux of admin panel". Perhaps someone else can explain this better?

ux - in for me means: user interface. This small issue I mentioned is with hard coded style of quick icons in kunena backend. In html/php should be only css class/id and style should be moved to css file like in other places backend.

ex.
<div id="kadmin">
<div class="kadmin-left">
<div id="kadmin-menu">

3) I've moved css into it's own file. Check beta1

I can't seem to find the preview button.

Not even in this board. Where is it?

I thought it would help matters if I moved an internal discussion topic into the public view and merged the latest messages with it.

Although the original topic concerns a few other issues, it's always good to get feedback from users about how the K 1.6 design is being received in real-life use. Thanks.

Matias, unfortunately I have still the same problem in latest beta. See red hard coded part.
