so please move the SAVE and Preview buttons and make the Submit button much larger

time and time again I press the save button or preview and I want to press the Submit button

other forums arent setup this way so thats why I am doing this, I didnt think it would be a problem but it has become one


the Submit button should be first and huge and the preview buton next then the save button dont have to be there but if it has to be then make it small - Please

All phpBB forums using the prosilver style (or similar style) have the same buttons. IMO the buttons are large enough and separate enough for it not to be a problem. The Quick Reply option doesn't have the Save button.

Other forum packages (such as vBulletin) have a Preview and Submit buttons of similar style (albeit in vBulletin the buttons are the other way around).

yea the quick reply is better for me

but I am used to vbulletin I assume because thats what avsforum.com uses and the others that I use on a regular bais - so maybe its only because I am not used to this forums

so I assume that I cant do anything about that since it is on "your" servers there is nothing I can do on my end

oh well thanks for the help

Well you can e.g. hide elements. If you wanted to hide the "Save" button you could use e.g. Adblock Plus (a Firefox add-on) with a the following filter:

Code: Select all

forum.videolan.org#input(name=save)
And for the "Preview" button:

Code: Select all

forum.videolan.org#input(name=preview)
That will hide every <input> element with a name of "save" or "preview" on forum.videolan.org.

If you don't use Firefox then AFAIK there are no methods like that for other browsers.
