Suggestion: Auto-Preview forum skin before applying changes.

[0089]

As we all know, it's possible to change the forum skin/style via User CP.

I'd like suggest a "Preview" or "Try Out" skin/style button, or better yet, an auto-preview feature which will basically automatically preview the forum skin/style before applying the changes.​

There's a style switcher that lets you look at the styles in a list with images before you choose them, but at least on Stunfisked it 404s. It's under 'Quick Links'.

It sure looks that way.

I don't really see the need for a feature like this. It's very easy to quickly switch to the style of the forum on almost any page by using the small style switcher dropdown thing at the bottom left of the screen. And if you don't like the style, you can just switch back with another few clicks.

As Toujours mentioned above, that link is dead/404'd. So it doesn't work at all.

Also, see the screenshot above your post for further proof that the link is broken.​

She means the dropdown menu on the bottom left, which isn't 404d.

But I still disagree because when I first joined I wanted to find a theme I liked so I used the preview style switcher to look at all of them so I didn't have to switch to each and every one and reload the page 50 times to see if I liked them.

Side note: It doesn't work on Nimbasa's Shining Beauty but the link on Snivy's Holiday works. It also works on Top Dog if this helps the admins pinpoint the problem.
