Brilliant site

As a Warseer migrater I miss the feature where you highlight a thread topic and it shows you the first few lines in a tool tip.

I'd have to look into how feasible it is to add that. Using a simple popup with text (like the glossary popup) will be messy, I guess I'll have to look at a solution based around Ajax. Let me mull on it.

UPDATE: Good news! There's a mod for phpBB already to do it, I'm just reading the installation instructions now

It's not a major thing, just an idea

Love the website btw. You've done a great job with making the features we need close to hand. Like the Army list link at the top. Great stuff.

OK, how's that? It doesn't work on the recent topics at the top yet, but I'll add it if it works OK on the normal forum topic list.

UPDATE: It's working on the recent topics at the top now too. I'll look at adjusting the colours to fit more with the rest of the board.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
But how about NOT including pictures on those little previews....if the first or last post includes pictures, those cute little previews become pretty huge...

That is fantastic!! Even better than anything I suggested lol.


Very helpful at work when opening a thread is a career threatening move

I'm going to get it to strip out images too (which also means smilies) as otherwise it goes a bit nuts when there are large images in the start of a post.

Much better...Thank you!

nice addition, great work Dan.

Can you get it to open the tool-tip where the subject header is?

Only when you shrink IE to a 1/4 of your screen (say if you happen to be at work) then the pop up appears off the screen.

i was missing this feature too (and just about to suggest it as well! ).

my only complaint is that it brings the preview up a little too quickly - just moving your cursor across the screen makes a real mess of flashing text. could you add a delay, so you have to hover the cursor over the thread title for 1 second or something before it brings up a prieview (i think this is what its like on Warseer).

cheers

p.s. this site quite literally gets better every day.

Hi Tim

Without sounding like some kind of stalker, you are the reason I looked up AoS and joined. I've read many of your rules posts and was missing this on Warseer. I don't know what happened there but I am glad it led to me finding this website!

The preview is brilliant Spacker!! 10/10

As I assume this thread will still receive a lot of views, Ill post my question here. Although I enjoy being a chosen allready, it ocurred to me, that the ranks are switching rather quickly. Besides, I do remember some comments on them from another post, maybe you could reconsider the values?

I'm open to suggestions

Tim, I'll look at the delay when I get home, should be fixable.

Nem, it should be opening where you put your mouse, so should be right on top of the title. I'll check when I get home.
