Did something change – when looking at templates we now have the Full Screen Preview button rather than the Live Preview button? Seems like it’s wrong to me as it is a live preview and it’s certainly not a full screen preview.

Can someone explain please – thanks

well we always had live preview – they just changed the wording to something that doesn’t make sense and is not good user interface description.

Any comments from Envato on why this was done please? I think users will be confused – was better before it was changed.

go and look at the code you see. you can no longer see what the code used by the author looks like, that is why the name has changed, what you see is totally different than before. it is no longer a live preview, it is a page display.

You can still visit the original site by clicking the “X” icon in the top right corner. I wouldn’t be opposed if they removed it.

I can just right click and view frame source (no need for firebug or clicking the “x”) – not sure why people can’t see the code – don’t see the benefit of this really… maybe I am missing the whole point :)
