I figured it out... it gives me a pop-up of do I want the auto-saved version, and I've been hitting "okay" for it. If I want the preview version, I have to hit cancel, which seem counterintuitive to me. But I just need to hit cancel... instead of okay.
I guess just a down side of having the auto-save (which is mostly awesome), is just I have to remember to cancel it when doing the preview button.

As for the comments about maintaining a website. I went into the profession of coding because I was told I couldn't do it, because I'm too active of a person and primary reason was because not everyone can do coding, and half of those who can -- do not want to. I find passion in whatever I do because I find challenges that keep me motivated. It's probably just how I was raised. I've had a dozen or so different jobs in my life and every one of them I found something to enjoy. I had a family friend tell me when I was very young ... do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. I try to love whatever I am doing.
Maintaining a website is a pain in the ass, a rewarding pain in the ass. When I write things like NFL Picks and you guys USE that feature, that is amazing to me. People using something I created, something that I designed, developed and coded. It's surreal to me.
I created something called CFM Stats that you export your Madden data and sync it with the website. I have had several people ask me for the source code for this project so they can host it and make tweaks of their own to it. They actually wanted to pay for it. I was like "FUCK this is awesome !! Someone wants to use some random idea I had one day and use it themselves?" It probably seems stupid or maybe foolish -- but to me, I love it when I can make something that others appreciate and use.
As for PackersHome -- I want to redo the entire thing in more modern technology. We use YAF for the forums. I want to build my own discussion platform, but we would lose so many features out of the gate. I can modify YAF however I want, but then when the lead developer of YAF makes changes and I merge them into what we have, it is a pain in the ass.
