Lack of Cancel Button When Editing Post


Hi,

I just ran into a situation where I wanted to check the capabilities available when editing an existing post (before I potentially made a fool of myself in a response ). So on an existing post of mine I hit "edit" and on the resulting edit box hit "go advanced" (or whatever it is called). After examining the box I was finished, but there was no cancel button. I exited by killing then tab. Now I am certainly not suggesting creating a cancel button just for this one particular (unusual?) situation, but I would think there would be circumstances where a cancel button would be useful. Say, somebody starts editing a post and then thinks better of it.) So perhaps a cancel button should be added?

Yes, I agree. It is a bit confusing and awkward that you have to hit the 'back' button on your browser or close a tab to cancel a post/reply/edit/report simply because there's no Cancel button.

Ah. I hadn't thought about the back button.

It seems my mind is in a different place when editing a post rather than simply replying.
