Mouseover Summary

Would love to see a feature added that enabled a user to mouseover a thread title and read a three-line summary. I've seen this on numerous message boards and it makes browsing significantly easier. Right now, I have to click every thread to read the contents. Some people put pretty vague titles and I'd love to get a quick idea of the contents of the post before clicking.

Anyone else -- thoughts on this?

Agreed

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

I have a feeling that would slow down the site a lot, but it's a good idea

WallStreetOasis.comyeah, what if we make the text black and the background light blue?

also, was thinking we shoudl make the box wider so it isn't so damn tall....will get on that.

agree with text black, and agree with wider, not sure about the background though
