No darn it I am sober. as I scan the forum with my mousie. and when I hit on a thread , a yellow box pops up with the contents of the thread before I open it . this is annoying ,because they dont stay up long enough, and I am not a speed reader. Well maybe I am as sober as you all, I hope.

I see them too and they disappear to quickly.

I would prefer if they should stay on as long as the mouse stays over the thread title.

I'd like the option of turning them off. They're rather annoying and unnecessary.

They're not there for you to read the entire thread in the box, it's just a tidbit to get you into the thread, I like it alot cuz it keeps me from going into threads I could care less for.

maybe there is an option with your browser that lets you adjust the time tool tips appear for? Ill bet there is, but I dont really want to try and find it.

Nah, drop back to the first gen section, outside of there, where it lists the threads and ****... Set your mouse over a thread and let it sit perfectly still. It goes away if you move your mouse...

Some browsers might not support it, but I know IE on Windows does, and Safari for Macintosh does too.

I dig em a lot...
