I am not easily able to test changes from the point of view of an ordinary user. I logout but when I come back I'm still admin. It would be nice in admin to have a link that lets you see the board from an ordinary user point of view.

I had this feature on another board. I could either view board as admin, like we do now, or as a common user.

Try Shift+Refresh?

But it's way too much typing. A simple click to be in as a regular user would be so much better.

IC. Well, I have a few tricks I use for that. If you accessed vbulletin.com, use www.vbulletin.com, or the ip address, or at the end of the url, add a ? or a ?abc etc, if there's already a ? then add a &, but each time add something to the end of the url.

Or you could do ctrl-f5, or shift-refresh, which I'll do from now on.
