Preview Post Feature

[Muatmessmoko]

This idea came to me when I was looking around in the ME Forums and found 4 posts in a row that I didn't care about but clicked on anways.

But If anyone knows how to code it, make a preview post type feature like Ask.com Search Engine - Better Web Search has, so you dont have to click the link if you dont want to see that.

You could probably find the code somewhere on the vBulletin forums, and if not im sure someone would be willing to code it.

Your browser should have a backspace button, just click that if you don't like the post.

Wastes 10 seconds loading the page when you have a craptastic internet provider like I do

I would actually like this, would make Moderating so much easier

10 seconds is good, compared to what I have....
I vote for it tho, seens some topics with interesting names but with crappy posts.

i like this idea. would be great if this got implanted into the server.

[Demonkunga]

I think this would be a good idea, I am in favor.

I KNOW there is an addon for this already, I have seen it on many forums where when you mouse over, it sort of lets you read some of the text of the post.

[KuRIoS]

find the addon for us and we will look into it

[GoatCheese]

Well, I think this should be added if people will use it and find it useful, but if not many people use it then it would just slow stuff down (I think).
Also here is a link to an addon that will do what you guys are asking for, I think this is it or something.... I dunno.

Have an option in the User CP to turn it on / off, default would be off IMO.

hmm.. bout to upgrade mmowned servers. so this may be in the works shortly.. otherwise i can turn on a simple text based highlight to preview.. how many characters? 150 good?

[Nugma]

150 sounds fairly enough to give you a feeling of what's going on in there.

added. simply highlight a threads title to see the first 150 characters of the thread. if this isn't enough, after the upgrade i'll highly consider that Ajax mod.
