    Resolved [RESOLVED] Thread Preview tooltip.

    There's a feature over at XtremeVBTalk [that seems to use the same forum software, but I could be wrong!], where hovering over a thread heading shows a tooltip with the first few lines from the thread's first post.

    Would this be possible to set up here?

    Just wondering.

    That feature is a result of an add-on for vBulletin.

    Re: Thread Preview tooltip.

    Do you mean a server-side addon or a browser add-on?

    If you meant a browser addon, the tooltip appears on the other board without any browser Addon.

    If you meant a server-side addon, then how can we convince the admins to get it?

    I don't remember, it being available. Then again, my memory isn't as good as I want it to be.

    I remember those days.... I think that was one thing nearly all of us at the time could agree on ... it was annoying.

    Re: Thread Preview tooltip.

    Wow! Some strong feelings around having a preview tooltip!

    Looks like I'm probably out-voted. I'll give some others a chance to chime in, though.

    Re: Thread Preview tooltip.

    Its a default built in setting with vB and yes its annoying as heck. If you search the feedback forum for the original thread I think you will see how much members disliked it.

    Well, I give in!

    The board has spoken (apparently not for the 1st time! ), tooltip previews are bad.
