"hey" (New thread preview feature)

[Catch-22]

Ever wanted to know what a thread is about before having to open it? I know, a novel concept....

Well, now you can!

skydancer has installed a brand new "Thread Preview" feature. Simply hover your mouse over the thread title and a small box will appear to show the first few words of the post.

No more sifting through threads like "hey" or "i have a question"....

This feature will give you a better idea of what is actually inside mysteriously titled threads before you open them!

Okay, time to wrap it up.

Issue #1 - In some rare cases the wrong text is displayed in the preview tooltip (not the first post but some other post). We are aware of it and will investigate later when we have time.
Issue #2 - Some people would rather have the newest unread post displayed. This could be an option in the control panel. This would involve a sizeable amount of custom programming work, so we threw it in the big box of possible future ideas.

Bye everyone!
