Thread preview?
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 4:00 pm
On all the other forums I use when I hover the mouse pointer over the subject matter of a thread I get a preview of about the first 20-30 words of the first post - enough so I get the gist of the thread or it reminds me what the thread was about when I last looked at it. In fact I think on some forums if I have read the thread I either get the first unread post as a preview or the latest post as a preview. On the new ABR forum software I don't get this at all - no matter which view I am in - whether its "new posts", unread posts or the board index I cant get the preview.
What I do get is a small grey box saying "unread posts" or "no unread posts". That is not really all the helpful.
The absence of this definitely affects my use and browsing of the forum. I don't want to open every thread to see whats the latest or just to find out what its about - thread titles can be misleading. Even with the lower throughput after the software change I am finding ABR a user-unfriendly place to visit.
It might be my software or settings if so any hints please. If not it needs sorting.
