Can we get forum preview modification?
« on: November 26, 2008, 11:10:12 PM »
Every forum I visit with the exception of this has a topic preview. You know when you hover your mouse over the topic it gives you the first sentence or two. I find this extremely helpful, I can simply preview the forum and see if its what I want to read (since title's don't always tell everything) and even makes me want to visit that forum more.

Is there anyway we can implement this to UK Yankee?

I second this request! I find myself trying to check threads all the time, then remember that it doesn't work here. It is extremely helpful!

Having a "go to first unread" within a thread would be great, too, while we're asking for stuff! ;D

we do have a "go to first unread"- just click on the blue new circle next to a thread title.

Hey! I *never* knew that! I didn't even ever try to click on it. I just thought it was telling me that there were new posts in that thread! Cool! I'm clicking on every thread now just so I can click on the new thingy! ;D Thanks, springhaze!

Leah runs this forum single-handedly as a volunteer effort in her spare time - which she has very little of, as she's a very busy person!  I'm sure she'll take note of this suggestion, but please don't expect an immediate response or implementation. :)

Jim, the "new" tag next to threads in the list when they have new posts. I didn't know what she meant at first either....
