OK ...
Thread preview now works for code snippets, so you can see exactly what the formatting will look like before you post. Everyone who submits a code snippet should always preview it first!

OK I have another treat for you. You can now edit your post to update your code snippet on your own, and use in combination with thread preview to check out changes before you submit them.

Maybe only the PREVIEW button should be available during initial composition. Then SUBMIT can be available only from a PREVIEWed screen. Just a thought.
