i've been wanting to try doing something with my user profile code, but i'm terribly afraid of accidentally messing something up, and i'd like an easy way to go back to my default look if (or rather when) i do mess up. is there a way to like...simulate the code without actually changing my profile for now? or a way to undo it all without having to remake my current, default, non-coded look? i'd appreciate any advice for a newbie coder as well, if you have any to give :V
you could copy your current profile code into a text document and save it so that you can always paste it back in if you need to. i keep word document backups of all my pet profiles.
...ahhh dang yeah, that's a good idea. why didn't i think of that?? i thought subeta might have some sort of fancy profile code previewer or something so i didn't think of doing that first lmao. thank you!
unfortunately not, it would be helpful though for instances where you have to rearrange/add/remove profile sections.
there actually is a "simulator" that does exactly what you want, but it's limited to css. it's called stylus, personally i think it's a lifesaver haha.
usually i have one tab open w/ the edit window/"notepad" and the other window w/ the profile. every time you change the css in the edit window, you hit ctrl+S and the css change will appear instantaneously without having to refresh.
There is something like that available. You can live edit on your profile using your Firefox's style editor; (mac: fn +) shift + F7. If you have custom code on your profile already, you'll usually want to edit the last inline-style sheet. So far, it has consistently been page for me. If you don't have custom code, profile code, or pet description text, you can create a new sheet by clicking the plus sign in the top left. Don't add the style tags here though. When you are done coding, copy all of your text and add it to your profile, this time using the style tags.
[edit] I don't know if there is something like that in Chrome. I know Safari allows you to see the style sheets but I have thus far been unable to live edit that way.
