Why not have a preview button for your profile? Say you make changes to your signature but don't want to post to find out if they changes came through? A preview button is what this site needs. Just click preview and it gives you an image of what your profile and posts would look like. Especially for those of you with elaborate sig designs, this would really help. Agreed?

Hey you saw my sig! :)
Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

Seeing your sig, I say yes.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

You can always preview your sig in a thread. Copy the code, cancel the post, and paste the code in your profile.

Only for seeing your signature. Anything else would be poinless.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

It would be a nice feature to have...for all of the prefectionist's here.

I haven't updated my sig in ages, but yeah that would be cool.

Oh God, yes.

Although I'm pretty sure my sig looks completely wrong and uneven on any computer other than mine anyway. =)

Hm, I need to change that Carnage bit...

Edit: Having said that, why don't you just reply to a post, paste your signature and use the preview function there... As EL suggested. =)

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I
would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall
be my example." -Mendicant Bias

It would be nice, but nothing more than a convenience.

$x='print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x; ';
print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x;

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Whenever I edit my sig, I hit reply in a thread and use the preview button there.

If I'm editing it, I type the new sig into the reply text.
It also helps because you can see how many characters you're using.
When I get it right, I just Copy the whole thing, hit cancel, and paste it into my sig.

I really don't see how such a feature would be desirable. People rarely edit their profile details, and it just wouldn't get enough use to warrant its existence.

I just used that method to alter my signature and it worked perfectly. It's a tiny bit of a hassle, but really it's not in need of a new feature to solve.
