306592 2004-12-21 23:40:00 Greetings all, what is the feature called in the new PF1, where if you hold the pointer over a post it displays the first few lines ? I like it. Merry Christmas to you all. jebby (4580)
306593 2004-12-21 23:47:00 Think it is called a Thread Preview tool tip. Don't go mentioning this to the Opera browser users as they don't get this :p

I believe that IE gives a much bigger preview tool tip that what Firefox does, think Firefox only does the first 70 characters of the post?

Well, they've been told often enough already Chill and they still don't get it, so it's gotta be a waste of bandwidth and electrons giving them info they will likely ignore or goes right by without a flutter of recognition :groan: or perhaps this one: :cool: is more descriptive :D
