Preview Thread when you hover mouse over title.

[super302]

I think when you hover your mouse over the thread, it should say the first ~30 words so you know what its about (stangnet does this and i think corral does too)

Just a suggestion :beer:

I turned that feature off, I don't like it.

Sid297, Are you looking at making it a user option? We had brought this up once before.
I really liked it.

 

[DARKSTI]

as did i

 

[speederdoc]

I like it, wish it was here.

 

[hydroshutter]

I liked it as well.

I hate it and hope it stays turned off. If I want to see the first 30 words I will click on the thread and read it.

 

[SID297]

Still don't like it.

 

[Kovachian]

Is it possible to make it a user option?

 

[98svtconvert]

i agree with making it a user option.

Same here.. Consider how much wasted bandwidth, database, drive activity happens on us guys falling for those obscure Thread titles. If only we could preview a portion of it we could avoid it.

I admit. I'm a sucker for

"Is this normal"
"OMG, Look what I found", etc etc etc..

I think I found a way to make it a user option, but I have much bigger things going on with the site right now. This is way on the back burner for the time being.

 

[super302]

sweet, cant wait

I feel i've made a difference to this site, lol

 

[JAXCOBRA99]

Hoooooooooooooray!.. This is the only site of many that I visit that doesn't have the Hover Preview. I really appreciate you making this feature available to the users that want it. I still firmly believe you'll notice improved performance of the site overall because people will no longer need to launch complete threads only to find it was not something they didn't care to follow in the first place (obscure thread titles to blame).

Thanks!

 

[SID297]

Actuallt, it may slightly hurt the performance of the site. We'll see.

 

[LogiWorld123]

there wont be improved performance. the database will be queried for the previews anytime someone is viewing a forum index, as the preivew must be parsed through the html so you can see it in your browser.

 

[JAXCOBRA99]

Won't it cache an Admin selectable amount of words for each thread? I don't proclaim to know much about Databases but having a feature like the hover preview to cause the database a constant amount of work doesn't seem very efficient.

If there's a way to make it a user selectable option and the Admins notice a substantial performance loss with the feature then by all means remove it.
