I agree, a preview button should be applied for comments too - that would be the better option for now.

When will this be solved? This is really annoying me. Should I bother Perff all the time when I want to edit something?
Please come with a solution or enable the feature until there will be a satisfying solution for the admins. It doesn't make sense to block this feature for so long.

given the current speed of developments, something may or may not happen until 2030

Personally, I love it. Double-check your text, use a spell-checker, and that's it. It isn't so hard or troublesome really.

That said, I'm using the forum's preview reply feature to check some of my longer product comments, but it's a minor annoyance.

It's not about lazyness or F&F attitude. I use comments for adding production info and for adding information about the release that is known at that time. If something can be written better or is untrue because new facts are found than I would like to rectify that without adding another comment.

It is a bit weird that for a group or scener you can update "trivia" / "handle story" and update that any time while there is nothing like that for a release. So I have to use comments for that for now.

So here is my request: please add a release info field for any release type that can be updated by anybody if a release is not locked. It's just one extra field that should be attached to a release and then I'm happy.

Why don't you use another comment for new info?

Something in the manner of "Dudes & dudettes, since I wrote my last comment about the release, X and Y has changed, Z is not true any more."

I'd understand the problem if we'd be limited to one comment per release.

Unlike most of the comments, trivia and handle stories are singled out, thus aren't active parts of a thread of conversation. Editing or deleting them do not or change the flow of communication or take out important parts from discussions. Not that the product comments section should be a place for a debate of any kind, but that's another story.

To put it to another perspective: you add a production info, shortly after I make a comment on top of it, dealing with a specific part of your note. Then, after a while you decide to edit or delete it, whilst my comment stays the same, without any context. Every single person who visits the page after that will leave confused. That makes more harm than good.
