I am wondering if there was an option to view the site from e.g. a TL2 perspective without having to go and create a new account. I am an admin on my site, so I get to see the forum with all the unlisted topics or topics in locked categories/ side bar with extra content etc I am keen to see how it…

Thank you! But damn that still sounds like a lot of extra work logging in and out :frowning:

I have a few test users for this kind of thing. :slight_smile: I generally have a couple of different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) to allow me to be logged in as both myself and a test user at the same time, as well as an incognito/private window for both so I can have some extras too if needed. :+…

That is not pollite way and forces that user logging in again.

[image] Rachel: a lot of extra work logging in and out Yes it is. Well, that work load doesn’t exacly kill you, but it is a bit annoying. But you can anonymizate yoursef (if it is allowed) and change that person’s rights?

Haha I’d say it partially kills me and my old clunky work surface pro lol I reckon a “view as” button would win a popular vote But thank you @JammyDodger :blush: I thought I only had 2 browsers (work security), but the incognito tip gives double that!
