1. The POST and PREVIEW buttons

I try to preview each message of mine before posting it. However a few times now I've pressed the post button by mistake. So can I suggest for comment ...

  1. Swap the order of the [post] and [preview] buttons.
  2. Significantly increase the distance between the two buttons
  3. Make the buttons visually different from each other so its not so easy to confuse them.
    • Make the preview button higher?
    • Make the preview text in ALL CAPS?
    • Make the post button a fainter shade or different color?
  4. Do not have a post button until after a preview has been done.

I'm for making them a bit more apparant, but many times, for instance, this message, I have no formatting and no reason to preview it. I wouldn't be for making preview mandatory. We do have edit capabilities now so if you think everything is OK and then when it's posted it's not, you can edit your message.
