AutoPreview Post

[experience]

I notice on other Vbulletin forums that you can preview the 1st paragraph of a post by hovering your mouse cursor over the title, which saves you time in having to open the topic.

Just wondered if this is something that be added here as it saves alot of time opening posts to find its not relevant to what the title suggests

We used to have that, but many people found it annoying - because moving their mouse to open a particular thread would lead to several pauses to show previews of multiple threads as their mouse approached it. In most cases there is also the issue that the preview is simply not big enough for the kind of posts we get here.

I completely understand that it is annoying to have thread titles that aren't apt, but the best thing to do (and many of us do already) is try to persuade people to use proper thread titles.

Its a pitty it cannot be enabled/disabled by the users themselves in their control panels.
It seems to work well on other vb forums
