Preview Blocking Clickable BBCode Buttons

It is very annoying when there is something long in the preview area extending the page until my browser can't click the BBCode buttons from this typing text box.

I remember there was a discussion about having possibility to remove the preview once we clicked it. I like Your idea.

Rather than removing it, maybe just put the preview area under the preview button instead of having it above the typing box.

The issue then would be scrolling for ages to reach the "Post" button. I think it would be much better to just have the preview be collapsed or something, or setting a certain size for the preview area, which can then be made bigger or smaller by clicking the + and - icons, like the text boxes have now.

You can request a modification at resources for a button which will close the preview area.

That would be nice! Or maybe the preview could be shown above the BB codes? (The emoticons would still be out of reach, though. :-/ )

This has already been done somewhere, I think it was a code request on the Resource forum. I'll see if I can find it for you.

EDIT: Found it, it was actually on this forum. Anyway, add this to your Board Template > Below the Board
Code:
 
<script type='text/javascript'>
if (location.href.indexOf('/post') !== -1) {
$('#c_bbcode').prepend("<div id='c_post-preview'></div>");
}
</script>

Even if there is a code, still better would be, if this could be official feature.
