How about something like this?
Hold CTRL + Left-click on the "Preview", then it will open on a new Tab.

Interesting...

Btw I'm a fan of "responsive forum" and @SFR10 why it's so hard to make forum into a resopnsive one?

You can find the answer to your question (sort of) on the above quote by "theymos" + the following quote as well:

Quote from: theymos on January 08, 2013, 05:28:50 AM

The forum software is heavily modified.

- In other words: In order to have a small change, it requires a significant amount of alterations to the code (not worth the trouble).

Having said that, the "new forum software" will be a "responsive" one (no "ETA" yet):

Epochtalk is already responsive for mobile. We will also think about a native implementation if there is enough public demand.

Good suggestion OP if you're using desktop or tablet but not with mobile.

Separate the preview Tab from your Editing / Posting window
Then use the "Show windows side by side" option when you right-click on the task bar.

That's exactly how I use preview function

That's not what actually theymos said about new forum but what he thinks about community suggested new forum policies.

Btw I'm a fan of "responsive forum" and @SFR10 why it's so hard to make forum into a resopnsive one?

I already created a thread about " Why can't we build mobile version of Bitcointalk?" because I need some rest for my two thumbs Cheesy

If it's not already done, then there's some reason why. A big possible reason is that I'm the only person who does development on the current code, and my time is limited. Another big reason is that this is a huge forum with complex dynamics, and even small policy changes can have big effects which need to be thought through very carefully.

Improvising solutions are our only option atm.

I don't know about other people but when I try to post a long post always I use dextop.specially when I want to add pictures for post, so side by side only for dextop will solve this 90% of the problem ,I think .

Normally "yes" but since current design of this forum isn't a "responsive" one, implementing such thing affects all users across different platforms (not only desktop users).

Looks like the idea was obtained from ICO forum

Let me know what is that ICO forum. I didn't know about that. I googled it but found nothing.

Link to the Icoforum : https://icoforums.net/

But actually the site is not working now,it shows 524 error timeout occured maybe the site is under maintenance?! Few weeks before they were running a signature campaign in our Bitcointalk to advertise about their forum.

Looks like the idea was obtained from ICO forum where there is similar of two windows one contains our writing contents and the other was the preview of that content but it is only for the desktop users,when we access the same site from the moile browser the site looks completely different all the tabs can be found on the side screen in ICO forum.

Anyway that is one of good feature to have while we edit lot of contents into one post.

Other than the smaller workspace I don't see any problem for a desktop user.

Personally though I don't mind scrolling up to see how the section I'm editing appears. My cursor stays where I was working and I just take a peak to make sure the correction is as I'd like.

I think having a "floating side editing buttons" might actually solve this issue.

Yes that is a good suggestion floating side editing buttons will be good.I don't know about other people but when I try to post a long post always I use dextop.specially when I want to add pictures for post, so side by side only for dextop will solve this 90% of the problem ,I think .

A good suggestion (for desktop users) but imagine having this while using a cellphone (like your first two screenshots as opposed to third one [side by side example]), it shrinks the editing window drastically (even if you use "desktop mode" on your cellphone).

I think having a "floating side editing buttons" might actually solve this issue.

Normally I don't post frequently But when I post I use enough pictures for present my post. But every time I had to face a problem with the preview function. when the post is very long it is very difficult to reach to preview post and do corrections correctly. It is very difficult to scroll up and down to reach the post and edit it on the editing section.So my suggestion is locate edt section and preview section side by side. then it will be very easy to reach post and do correction. appreciate your suggestions and already using shortcuts for eliminate this problem.

see these pictures

I really Like, if preview section and editing section locate side by side.Like this example

See this exacmple created by me.
