cheapskate

i like forums that when one holds the mouse pointer over the thread or whatever, a little box pops up that contains the first sentance or two of the post, without having to click on the deal and wait for it to load, only to find out that it was something you didn't want to read. wow, that's a long sentance. does anyone know what i mean? could this site get a deal like that?

We had it here and BOTH the site owners don't like it....sooooooo Not much chance of it returning anytime soon

cheapskate

ok, just thought i would ask. i like it, but i guess it is a matter of opinion.

I like that feature as well. I am on dial-up and it saves me time not checking each thread.

My right pointer finger gets tired with all this clicking

+1 on liking that.

The site as a whole is split about 50-50 on weather or not they like it. It has been discussed many times. But it basically comes down to this-

Yep, I thought that statement I made pretty well explained the situation as well

Can't fool a guy like you

displacedtexan

It seems that this gets discussed every month or so.

And the answer is that you and Jack don't like it. And since yall pay the bills...

I don't like it either, so it works out well for me

The "other" site has it, but you pay for it. Ok- I'll donate now. need to as I use this one more anyway.

I wonder why that isn't a function the user can choose?

Software issue, not something you can make user choice.

Yeah, I kinda figured that. I was just curious as to why the software manufacturers didn't make it a user option when they wrote the program. It would only be common sense to think that that feature would be a thing that some people love, while others would hate it.

Oh. Yeah. That 'common sense' thing again. THAT explains it!

cheapo,

i click on "new posts" and then right click on the threads of interest, and "open in new window"

and let them open as slow (dial up) or fast as they want, then read them as i go, and keep my place in the new posts. or close them.

that way, i can make sure Begle1 don't post anything silly that i need to read..

i will say this, i guess alot of guys don't realize this site don't have "mouse over" and they post some really useless (2 word) thread names, so their questions and input get ignored, because we don't bother to click into them.

i donated a few flat panels for the server rack, and i want the "mouse over" function to work, does that make my vote count? (you ever get them installed?)
