I have permission to modify a theme, but for some reason SMF won't allow the CSS modifications from inside the admin area--even though there's an option. Is there another way to edit the CSS and see the changes as I go?

Right now I have to guess at what I'm changing, change it, upload it, then reload the page online. I'm using a test forum for this, but it's a LOT of steps, and I don't really know what it is in the CSS I'm changing until it's done. I think this is making the job about 10x harder than it has to be and taking far more time than it should.

My head hurts.
