Is it possible to increase the time the preview function shows

When I put my curser on a thread the preview disappears before I have read the preview

would like a bit more time

What's a preview ? That bit under the reply box ? never used it.

What's a preview ? ...
The popup dialog box you get when you roll your mouse pointer over a subject in list of threads.

ratchet, just roll your mouse over another thread & then come back to the one you were previewing.

iSpy only shows the last 25 posts & it only shows the first 3 lines of the post.

When the yellow box appears, move your cursor slightly every couple of seconds and it will stay for as long as you like.

Moving your cursor slightly every couple of seconds doesn't work for me either BUT... Mr. Wong & some unknown moderator don't seem to agree. :rolleyes:

Works for me. Continuous back and forth across the span of a single letter works too; also tiny orbital motion. Maybe a peculiarity of your browser. Thanks, Wongo.

It doesn't work for me, I'm using IE7 what are you blokes using? :?

[Dan]

Same.

Just fired up an old version of Opera that I installed but never use and the thread address pops up in the usual preview box and stays there for as long as the mouse pointer is on the thread title (no movement required) but all you get is the address not the message.:rolleyes:

Moving the cursor used to work for me with IE6, but now I have IE7 it dosent work.

[joe greiner]

IE 5. Good thing I haven't upgraded, I guess. Still haven't got around to answering the thread "Do you procrastinate."

I use Firefox and it doesn't work for me either.

But why does it matter ? You only see about the first 20 words, not the entire post, and it's plenty of time to read that much.
