Fix the New Post Preview Window
Hello, my friends. Today I propose yet another suggestion. There is a flaw in the new post preview window. A small flaw, but one that still needs to be addressed.
The window is too wide.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Compare the width of a forum post with the width of the preview window. The preview window will be wider. This isn't too much of a problem when making plain text, but it can cause some problems. The most common would be when writing long blocks/comments in scratchblocks. Let's say I go to write this post-
As you can see, according to the preview window, the comment fits inside the post and does not run off. But when I press submit, lo and behold!
It doesn't fit.
That's a big problem because scratchblocks and comments don't wrap around, and thus your message gets cut off. While one solution would be to enable wrapping comments in scratchblocks, unfortunately I believe that has been suggested, and the ST has not fixed it.
Additionally, the extra wide preview window can cause other problems when aligning images. You may have noticed that yesterday I decided to remodel my signature and show off some of my projects. (I also adopted a pet- say hi to Blocky!) Unfortunately, I had one too many images in that row. In the preview window, all of the images appeared on the same line. But when I submitted my signature and went to see how it looked, the row of images was too long, and the last image was on a line by itself! As a result, the text was all out of place, and poor Blocky got cut out of my siggy! In order to fix this horrible act of pet injustice, I suggest that the preview window is the same width as a regular post. Perhaps the preview window could show exactly what the post will look like once submitted, not just the text, but also including the profile picture, signature, etc-
This way, users can tell when their scratchblocks comments get cut off!

Support and for a horizontal scroll bar for blocks that are too long (like on the Wiki)
- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

Also, you have a typo:
“lo and behold” is actually “low and behold”

BUMP has 4 letters. The square root of 4 is 2. 4+2=6.
BUMPING has 7 letters. BUMPING is one word. 7-1=6.
If A = 1, B = 2, etc, then BUMP = 2, 21, 13, 16. 2+21-13-16=-6. The absolute value of -6 is 6.
6, 6, 6 = 666.
BUMP is illuminati confirmed. *insert creepy illuminati music*
