[edit] Welcome, and a note about "preview"

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 15:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Noted...Apologies..I only started contributing to this yesterday and am still learning, but some things don't seem to allow you to preview them before changing and this is why I saved (and subsequently re-edited). I would appreciate your comments back on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redxx (talk • contribs) 15:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The "show preview" button works only some of the time? Hmmm, I'm not sure what to tell you, as I have no idea why that would be. Maybe go to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). Also, you could try testing things out in the Wikipedia:Sandbox. Once again, welcome, and happy editing. I'll follow this up with one of the more extensive welcome templates. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks...Grateful for your assistance..but no worries - I think the reason I couldn't see the preview was because I hadn't scrolled enough (lol) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redxx (talk • contribs) 20:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
