I dont know how well this will be accepted, but I would like to see a preview checkbox on the Edit profile, write before the "save changes button". This would come in handy, especially for me since I am currently in the process of learning some html factors, and am also working on editing my profile to kind of make it look cool! I was going to suggest a preview button, but as some people have to make just minor changes, I think it should be a checkbox, kind of like that one on the boards, where you are able to preview your posts before you post them. What do you guys think?

I actually think that's a good idea, but you can always go back and look at your information before posting.

The difference here is that you can make more changes if your original ones don't work. For board posts, once it's posted, you're done.

Yes, that's true, but like in my profile, you wouldn't be able to tell if the links, lists, headings, etc, will look right until you actually save changes. Also my thought was that sometimes it can be confusing when you are trying to read your profile, and jaws says "edit" after everything. That kind of throws me off in a way! Just a thought:)

ash, i like it!. it's a good idea... and like you said, people like me probably wouldn't use it, but i don't see the harm in saving time by using that feature

I like the idea. I probably wouldn't use it because I've never put much in my profile, but I can see how it would benefit those who put more effort into theirs.

agreed with brooke, my profile has almost nothing in it. But it's still a good suggestion.
