I noticed that the cancel button that allows you to cancel a post before posting is missing. It's a minor inconvenience if you change your mind in posting a reply...which I often do.

YES! And watch out--the new program remembers your unposted reply and will add it to your next one if you don't entirely delete it.

I noticed that, too. I hope they fix it cuz that could be a real problem.

I'm not sure it can be fixed. The board I came from also used Xenforo and it was a problem there as well.
 
When you arrive at the end of a thread there is a reply box. If you enter any text and move on, when you return the box with your text is still there. You have to remove the text.....,.

Unfortunately there isn't a fix for this and there aren't any add ons currently. The lack of a "Cancel" button for the reply box is my least favorite feature on xF. Hopefully something will come along in the future, but for now we're stuck with no button.

I accidentally found that if you begin a reply and change your mind, if you reload/refresh the page, the text you entered is erased......🤷

Just in case... click the floppy disk icon to save...it saves for 24 hours.

Can’t tell you how many people I’ve accidentally quoted.
