  I was thinking about changing themes and went to preview some new ones. For some reason the preview would not load. I tried 3 different themes and not of them would load. I am currently using the 2010 them and have about 20 posts

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello Eclecticeagle,

  You might want to try some of the suggestions below and see if that helps because this could be a browser issue:

  Good luck,

  I just tested previews using a few different browsers and didn’t run into any problems. However, if you’re having trouble, I’d like to see if I can figure out how to help.

  What happens exactly when you go to Appearance > Themes in your blog dashboard and click the Preview button for a theme? Does the preview area go white? Does the whole page go white? Do you see any error messages? If you click the Preview button once and nothing happens, does it start working if you click the same Preview button a 2nd time?

  I finally got it to work. It appears that I have a slow connection and that was the issue. Apparently I had to wait for all of the themes to load before I could pick one to preview. I have not tried again for a couple of weeks.

  Aha! If it helps, I can tell you that making it load faster is *always* on our minds and something we continue to work on.

  Sorry it’s slow for you at the moment! If you’d be willing to make a note here about how fast your internet connection is in general, that would help me when I forward feedback like this to our developers.
