I am unable to duplicate the 404 error you describe.

None of my articles currently use the preview limit although it is entirely possible to do this.

It uses 7 new templates in all, the article body itself uses 1 on Newsdisplay and another on Shownews. You can eliminate the Quote button by editing the templates, however, if you want to change it to "Comment," you would have to modify your forum's images. You can make the "Last Comment" text clickable by editing (translating) that phrase for your forum.

You would have to find your own javascript for show/hide of comments. This not possible with vBulletin's vbcollapse feature since each comment uses a new table. You should then edit your SHOWNEWS template to include the changes you want.

As for the [preview] tags eating unsupported preview text, the tags never disappear for me when I try to edit, even with text between. This may be because you are using the WYSIWYG editor, in which case you should not be able to modify any BB-code after submission. Switch to the Standard editor and you should see it again.

As for the practical use of the [preview] tag, I will change the name to [previewlength] for the next update, and add a [more] tag which will encapsulate the text that hides on preview for the next update. How's that?
