Site is looking good! still playing around with all the new features!

I noticed that the topic description is optional when starting this topic now. Is there any chance of making this compulsory or using the first couple of sentences by default to describe the topic?

Reason being, when you point over the topic in the forum, you can gather enough info to decide if you want to open the topic or not. This will save a lot of time, because everything looks new when it is old and familiar posts.

Currently it only says "view topic" or am I missing something?

Hi Tankman,

Are you referring to the tooltip which used to popup on the old forum?

The new site doesn't have this, but it shouldn't be hard to implement.

There is a 'Topic Preview' feature which you can open up by clicking the Posted Image which appears to the right of the topic title when you hover over it. This opens a in-line pop-up with the first and last post.

The function you are referring to looks like a much better function!
Cool,so I was missing something!

Don't like the click needed to see the post. The hover was much simpler and faster. Having to click and then close a div again, two clicks, before it needed none.

Also, the image only showing when on the row, why?

Couldn't agree more! Nice site but please add preview as compulsory when cursor is placed over topic. :)

Agreed, was much better with the hover function as per the old site.

Otherwise it looks great and is nice and quick, well done.

Agree the old hover cursor over topic was much better.
I'm sure all old site users would agree?
