    There seems to have been some disagreement about thread previews so I thought it worth having a poll to see who likes them and who doesn't.

    Thread previews, are the "tooltip" that pops up with the first 100 chars of the first post of a thread when you hover over the thread title with your mouse.

    Michael.

    Can't see the point of them. Thread titles tell you most of what you need to know.

    Not to sound like I'm stirring, but I don't see the problem.

    I can click a link fast enough to avoid the pop-up coming up (you really don't have to be that fast).

    If you don't like the pop-ups, just don't hover the pointer! Move and click, move and click, it's a skill most of us learn pretty early on in our PC experience...

    Michael, if I feel very forcefully about this issue, can I have a few extra votes? Like, 634?
