Merged [Merged topic] Where is the preview button?

Considering i have USERS, and not EXPERTS in Kunena things in my forum......

Remember that USERS don't even know what KUNENA are.
They just want to post and view others posts, always, in the easyest way!

It's just some minutes wasted to make everybody happy. You should consider that.

I know what you are talking about. The problem is that people see the discussion topic "Kunena has no preview button?" and they fly into a panic.

"What do you mean? Kunena doesn't have a preview button!? But this is madness! This is crazy! You mean that, for all this time, you guys haven't got a preview button?!?!"

People don't read what's been written before in the topic, they just see the subject and they react, instinctively and emotionally. The message I'm trying to get across is that the situation is not as grim as some people seem to make things out to be. We accept the opinion that the placement of the preview buttons (plural) may not be as intuitively obvious as some people prefer; however, having a difficult-to-find feature is not the same as claiming that Kunena lacks the feature which is what is implied in this topic subject. Just so that you know what I'm talking about!

well said..

DinhoSV: I'm not really trying to defend the design. I can see both sides of the discussion and I don't really have a personal opinion. I don't even use the preview feature much. To be honest with you, the side-by-side feature is not very useful to me at all. If I use the feature, I prefer the top and bottom feature.

I'm not defending the design in K 1.6.2. We appreciate all feedback - whether it's supportive or critical of the way things were designed - and the design/development team will take something away from this discussion.

My purpose in this discussion is to moderate; that is to make sure that all views are allowed to be considered. The topic title "No preview button?" is expresses as a question. I am only addressing myself to the question, explaining that K 1.6.2 does have a preview feature, and trying to help people who want to know how to advise their own forum users about how to use the forum. That's all that I'm trying to do.

I think we should all agree that this topic has probably served its purpose. There is a body of opinion that is unhappy with the placement of the preview feature in K 1.6. We accept that. Our advice is to explain the situation to your users and help them as much as we're trying to help you. What more would you like us to do?

Sozzled, i'm not criticizing you or the programmers of this excellent Joomla forum solution.
My comments are just because i really want to have the ONE forum solution, and Kunena actually is. And small changes makes a big diference.

Kunena has preview button. FACT! 2 BUTTONS located in the Boardcode.

We just ask and need that this button(top and bottom) stay in a more visible place for our users.

See this fresh example in my forum:


And what users do:


I know this is off topic but i need some help in this problem. I need to know where in the code i can edit to make the text same size of the preview side.

Thanks in advance.

DinhoSV: The second issue that you mentioned is unrelated to this topic. The second issue is a template issue. In fact the second issue is not really a Kunena problem; it has to do with your site template/ Hints: font-size, line-height, Firebug .
