when you preview a forum post, it pops up at the top left of the screen. when you click "close" to get rid of it, it doesn't actually disappear; it just moves the preview to the bottom left of the screen, and returns interactivity to the rest of the page. so you can do everything else like normal albeit with the post preview blocking part of the page until you either refresh or navigate away. generally not a big deal BUT if the post is more than a few lines long, it blocks the "post" or "create topic" button unless you zoom out a lot.
clicking the "close" button multiple times doesn't do anything. clicking "preview" again will move the preview back to the top of the page with updated content, and clicking "close" again just moves this updated preview back to the bottom of the page.
the styling on the preview panel is also... well, nonexistent right now, but i know that's cuz of the CSS reworks and doesn't interfere with functionality. it's just the positioning / lack of removing it from view that's causing a minor problem. i don't know if clicking "close" is meant to set it to display: none or visibility: hidden or just change its position so it's off the screen, but whatever is supposed to be happening is not.
