What happened to the thread preview?

[pablo escobar]

I thought when I first came to the forum, and you hovered the cursor over the thread title, it showed a snip of the first thread content.....

Now, it shows a vbtooltip of go to first post.

That's lame, if that functionality has been taken away. Is there a poll somewhere where a moran wanted it to be more like vB?

It did? As far as I know, the tooltip has ALWAYS been there. Thread preview has already been requested.

Thread previews are implemented? I thought they weren't here yet (which is why there's a suggestion thread to have them added).

I remember somebody requesting thread previews very early on... meaning it wasn't ever here. You're remembering wrong. The way it is now is how it's been since they opened the forum.

That's lame, if that functionality has been taken away. Is there a poll somewhere where a moran wanted it to be more like vB?

Actually, in vBulletin, hovering over the thread title does show a preview.

Why does people want it to be like vB?

Why does people want it to be like vB?

In this case, it has nothing to do with wanting to be like vB. It's a very handy feature, that makes perusing threads much easier. I can often tell by the thread preview (if it exists) whether or not I want to open the thread.

It has been asked and I agree, in some way/shape/or forum. Possibly a right click/hover/click on box...

Maybe I'm confusing thread preview with the forum description......

Hover over a forum name, and the forum description rotates into view.
