How hard would it be to add a third button? So you have "preview" "save draft" "save"? Save draft would go through what save normally does with the exception that it doesn't wipe out any existing "official" version of the node where "preview" would just show you without any sort of saving as it does now. I don't know about the code end but from the user end that makes sense to me. Michelle On 6/9/2007 4:48:32 PM, Dries Buytaert (dries.buytaert@gmail.com) wrote: I agree with this. As an excessive previewer myself, the mental model that lives in my head assumes that previews are volatile. I preview because I don't want to save my data before it's ready to be saved. I don't finish everything that I start writing so every once in a while, I abandon the post in which case the previews and the node ID would still be in the database? That said, I'm not opposed to an auto-save feature or a 'Save as draft' feature. Except that it should somehow align better with my mental model. Something else to consider -- spammers will often try to submit spam to your site. Even if they don't make it through, they might insert permanent junk in your database.
