Great suggestion for a new feature if possible!!!

So on basically every other board I go to most of them have this feature where if you're in a forum and looking at the topic list all you need to do is hold your mouse over the title of a topic and the first few lines of the first post pop up next to your mouse pointer...

Here's an example from the AFI boards.
Just hold your mouse over any of the topic titles and it will pop up after like half a second.
http://board.despairfaction.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2

I think that would be a kick ass feature for this forum just cuz it's so convenient to be able to skim the topics and just hold your mouse over the ones that you're not sure are about, since a lot of times people make topic titles that really have nothing to do with what they wrote... That way you don't have to go down and click every single topic one by one just to get an idea of what they're about. It will also be good for people who have slow connections since they won't have to open each individual topic and have to wait for all the pictures and avatars and shit to load up just to read what it's about.

So yeah... I don't know if you'd be able to do it, Station, but if it's possible I think it would be pretty kick ace.

Thats cool. But my connection is fast enough that it takes about the same amount of time to just click on the thread.

If you can find out what phpbb mod that is, I could install it. I looked for it for a minute but I'm not sure I found the right one.

I am being pretty lazy with this, it's true. Tell me for sure, do we want it to show the LAST post in the thread, or the FIRST post?

p.s. when looking up the mod i notice that some people hate it because they think it's annoying.

Alexnova · Post by **Alexnova** » Fri May 26, 2006 10:06 pm

If people find it annoying you should be able to disable it in the profile.

If you can't, I wouldn't recommend using it.

Drums · Post by **Drums** » Sat May 27, 2006 11:36 am

Put up a poll man.

And you would def. want it do diplay the first post. You want to know what its gonna be about before you open it up.

And What Alex said is a good idea too. See if you will be able to disable it in your profile.

do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it !!!!!

Most people like the feature. The last post would be a bad idea, since threads tend to get so insanely off-topic on this forum all the time.
