Can you guys implement a feature where when you put your mouse over a thread title, a small box will pop up that shows you a preview of the first couple sentences the thread creator wrote? That would save me some serious time from getting bombarded by shitty threads.

bodybuilding.com has this feature if you want a quick preview of how it looks.

Yeah, I've seen forums like that but the thing is, it gets annoying if your scrolling down and constantly see previews.

in gear swap you can roll over to see prices or if its sold and is helpful in my opinion

just make the feature opt in, if you don't like it you'll never even know

I like this idea, just keep it so that you have to hold your curser on it for a second, or just right click. It would be helpful.

i'd prefer not to have this. Every forum i've ever been on that has it is made awful because the previews keep popping up, and are very annoying.

and besides, it doesn't take much to click on a thread, see that i dont want to read it, and hit back. i don't need a preview to save me those 5 seconds.

Yeah, that is annoying. Also, like a little button that sends you directly to reply, or sends you directly to the last post.
