Sophie Posted July 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2004 The new feature on the boards that allows you to preview the post before opening it is driving me crazy! :mad: On the longer posts, I'm always in the middle or almost finished reading it when it just disappears. It's very irritating. Then it takes a few seconds to get the preview to reappear so I can finish reading it. I know this is a minor complaint but does this get on anyone elses nerves? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixCruiser Posted July 20, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Sophie, I've been having the same problem, love the feature, just wish the message lasted longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winncove Posted July 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Yes! I just wiggle the mouse & try to jump in to the middle of the message! Sure do like those little marks on the left so I can go to replies I have not read yet, which works most of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natesfirewife Posted July 20, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I hear ya! I wish it would stay up just a little bit longer or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London, Canada Posted July 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I find them irritating as I am scrolling, so finally figured out if I move my cursor to the left they don't pop up...but I can't read as fast as they disappear either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo4trav Posted July 20, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I wish you could turn them off! AAAYYYEEEEEEE! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodml Posted July 20, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Uh oh, I actually really like the feature. Saves me from clicking on a post if it doesn't interest me. It's especially good since I'm on dialup at home and it takes a while to load the posts. I can agree with the part about it dropping off quickly but by then I usually know whether or not I want to click on it and read the whole post anyway.

Beffy1167 Posted July 21, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'm with the majority here....I like 'em but wish they lasted longer. Although I will admit that sometimes just the quick glance of a longer post DOES tell me that I don't need to read further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankiRN Posted July 21, 2004 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I find the feature really helpful for those "HELP!!" posts. You know the ones. If you are gonna ask for help, PLEASE tell us what you need help with in the subject line. I don't know how many I've clicked on, and instead of cruise advice the poster wants help getting their dog tattooed or whatever. This way, you can read a little bit and if you can't help, don't load the whole page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted July 21, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I like the feature, but it does go away too qucikly......BUT I just did a little test. If you keep your mouse moving just ever so slighlty on it, it stays up! Try it, it worked for me ;) *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted July 21, 2004 #14 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I agree that sometimes it does go away too fast, but on a lot of posts I can usually tell if it's something I have an interest in or can add info for the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marciemi Posted July 22, 2004 #16 Share Posted July 22, 2004 winncove - just wanted to say thanks for the tip about the little arrow on the side. I had no idea it existed & hated scrolling through 20 or so posts I'd already read to read one new one. That's great - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsterlover Posted July 24, 2004 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2004 ArizonaCruiser.....thanks for the tip....it works! I was frustrated by the message disappearing so quickly also. I do enjoy this feature, as it does save me time from bringing up subjects I'm really not interested in. L.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdRock Posted July 24, 2004 #18 Share Posted July 24, 2004 It looks like they have fixed this. I just noticed that now that window will stay up indefinitely....its much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
