Skin - Seeing

[ZakRhyno]

We a the admin selects a skin they have to go to the main board to see if it change or not. I think making an iframe or something that would load the main board or front page so that the admin can see the change all or something like that.

What's wrong with having the board open in another tab of your browser?

[Panupat]

yea the editor already takes most of my screen space.

[Morrigan]

I agree with both. I actually normally have multiple pages of my forum up so I can refresh the section on demand.

[ZakRhyno]

Could always load it in a iFrame or something like that above or below.

[Morrigan]

iframes are bad. I hate iframes with an undying passion but not just that I'm unsure that Google Chrome handles iframes very well at all and I was pretty sure that XHTML convention that iframes are no longer able to be used.... I think. I'm pretty sure since target is supposed to be gone to right? *isn't quite sure but I don't like frames*

Also, as Panupat says:

yea the editor already takes most of my screen space.

And iframe would make it too scrolly and be in the way.

[ZakRhyno]

Well you can view it in other ways.

[Morrigan]

Well anyone can. but I mean seriously:

That is my screen when editing and I have a 17 inch screen. To add an iframe into that would just be bad internet juice. Maybe a compromise could be that there is a link to "view changes" so that it will popup in a popup or in a new tab for you?

No, I think that is a story that geek parents tell their geek children to make sure they are good.

[ZakRhyno]

Agree Morrigan you have a good idea. Hope they think about it. +1

[Michael]

With all that's already going on in that page, and the fact that every modern browser supports the ability to have multiple tabs open, I don't see there being any huge need for this change personally.
