Forum suggestion. by matty on 12-18-2004 at 12:08 AM
This is pretty interesting with my little idea here.
Dynamically you can change the CSS of a page in HTML so here is my suggestion. When seleting the layout for a forum like the different styles when a different one is selected how about changing the CSS of the page so the user can see what it looks like without having to update it and then go back into the preferences to change it.

That sounds like a suggestion for the MyBB developers. 
MyBB RC2 doesn't use pure CSS like RC4 (some things that vary based on theme are not controlled by CSS, but rather just HTML). Also, we don't have separate stylesheets for each theme. Those 2 facts would make this feature difficult to implement here.

thats what i thought it'd be a suggestion for myBB as WDZS doesnt have any Control himself to do this,

Part of the problem is that not everything is controlled by CSS. Even in RC4. You have the table borders/spacing as well as the images directory which make it pretty hard to do something like this -and is it really worth that amount of time?

Its a good idea, but I don't really think its worth it to be honest, just a waste of time in the end .
