When you put your cursor on top of a topic title a box pops up with a preview?....blocking a few the titles below it in the process.

Awesome, the "put your cursor over the thread title and see the first part of the post" thing is fab. This feature is such a cool thing, it's been a part of vBulletin software for awhile and my fave feature and now you got it here! I wish it would show a little more preview text if you could do that. This feature means you don't even have to open a thread if it is not something of interest to you.

I don't like the new pop up "preview box". mad at all, especially on my Apple iPad and portable touchscreen smartphone devices , as it not only blocks all surrounding thread titles, but makes it a lot more difficult now (touchscreen finger double tap) to actually open the thread as well. I hope this distracting and annoying new "preview box" feature can be removed, or at least be optionally turned on/off via Synthzone: My Stuff > Edit Preferences. juggle

I don't care for the popup either..but the way I type...and the fact that I get in a hurry to hit post sometimes, and my keyboard misses characters.... (I know shape up) I like edit.

IMHO, Nigel,

If there is a CHOICE, I prefer the 'edit' ...

Edit might be better if there were no option to edit without at least an acknowledgment that it has gone on. We KNOW how some here like to go back and change the past, to make things they have said in error or spite disappear, and then make all subsequent posts look crazy! wink

Other forum softwares make the pop-up a LOT smaller and restricted to hovering over the URL itself. This one is a bit too big and a bit too 'floaty', IMO. Plus, most of the time, I'd rather see a pop-up of the LAST post in the thread, not the first!

Overall, I don't like it that much...

Actually, if you edit a post it says that you've edited it ... and if the 'editor' ants to he/she can even note the reason for the edit ...

If there WAS an edit option, I would change 'ants' above to 'wants' ... wink

No it isn't it is there for 10 minutes after you post. But then it has gone after that. It give you time to decide you made an error and fix it. After 10 minute you need to ask me to fix it for you, if there is a good reason to.
