tooltips/popups when hovering over thread links

natalie · 07-14-2004

Hi James,

Been away from the forum for a while (spending lots of time on scubaboard.com since I got certified). I noticed on that other forum (they use vBulletin too) if you hover your mouse over the thread link, you get a little tooltip/popup that has the first bit of the body of the message in it. I find it helps me to determine whether or not I want to actually click on the thread and keep reading it. Any chance of this feature being implemented on playadelcarmeninfo.com? Please?

Thanks,

Natalie

No. I've disabled it for two reasons.

One: it defeats the value of the view column
Two: it creates heavier pageloads, something I'm working on streamlining for our new edition

Darn! (pout). Although having faster pageloads would be nice.
Thanx for your quick reply.
