Preview of thread topic?

#1

Post by AEA »

On other boards I visit, when you are in a "New Posts" view and you put your mouse over the subject of a post (thread) you get a preview of what the first part of that first post says without actually clicking on it and going to the thread.

Is it possible to have that on this Board?

Hey Friend,
You might trying going into the "Control Panel" and to "Board Preference" and look under "My board style." You can then select "prosilver" or "subsilver2" and "subsilver2" has more of the "old" look.
I hope that helps some.

I have tried both themes and neither give you the preview of the post with a mouseover on the thread subject.

Here is an example of what I am talking about:
With the mouse over "Pre-Owned 2008 Bullitts?" Thread topic, it gives a small preview window of the first part of the first post in that thread.
