the preview at the top of a post

Galahad:
According to the Simple Machines support forum, the problem is with the theme. Some themes mess it up, including the default theme used here.

If you switch your theme to the Simple Machines default theme, the preview box works as expected.

Thanks for the new info. It works well with Firefox but I really do like to use Google Chrome. I'll try your suggestion.

I have a solution for this problem, as it happens to me all the time. It's a little complicated to explain, but easy to do after once or twice:

When the "short preview" comes up, right click the one line that is visible and choose "Inspect Element".

This will open a window, and hopefully the line highlighted contains the text "height: 20px" If not, try again.

Right click that exact phrase, and choose Edit Attribute. Click the 20 and then add a zero so that height: 200px and then close that new window with the Circle X in the top right corner.

Wha-la, you now have a usable preview. :)

opossum:
thanks Jason! it worked ;D on Google chrome I  can uncheck the box next to 20px and it shows the entire post in the preview pane.
