It would be incredibly helpful if, when you put your mouse over a thread, if the first post would display, or if too long at least part of it

an example:

www.off-topic.net


It doesnt seem like much, but it is the details that count right!? I just love that feature

Hehe. I will have a look later. But the idea i think is a good one. Coz sometimes you open up a thread na dit is a complete waste of time.

Myabe this could b something that you have to click a bot in profile to get to work. As it may slowdown 56k users, like myself. But i doesnt sound like a very interesting idea. Something that needs to be looked into i feel

good idea!

Wow. This is awesome Swamper!

Well thanx swamper, done now

I took it out for now, it was too server-intensive.

I may just set it up to only be in effect from 7PM Eastern till 11:30 AM eastern....

Since those are off peak times

c'mon....!! please make it always..

this is a neat feature as shown in some other forums, and yes it does put a toll on the server during peak hours and not to mention the 56k users

nice! very good swamper!

how much more strain does it out on 56k users? or is it hardley noticable? because i thought all the forum pages got compressed beore they got sent out anyway

It only adds about 9k to the average threadslist - and compressed it is about 1.5k extra.. no big deal for modem users
