On the feature itself, I find it somewhat tacky & unprofessional - Something they try to avoid with Fusetalk.

Does not work on Phoenix. Wait neither does half the stuff in FT4 so it won't matter

Works in mozilla. It's just a javascript tooltip, should work in any browser.

This would require an additional query for every single topic in a listing. I have mine set to show 100, so it'd be 100 extra queries for every forum index I look at, and that seems like alot.

Also, what's the purpose? The whole idea of a *TITLE* is to get the point across. Put the *TITLE* in the *TITLE*, and put the text in the message so people that actually have decided to look at it (because the *TITLE* brought them in) won't just be reading redundant text.

Then again, alot of people don't seem to comprehend what exactly a title is, and have thread titles like "omg", but hey, bitch at those people when they do it.

I agree, if FT4 had this and AT enabled the feature I'd probably wanna turn it off.

If I wanna read a thread I'll click it :D
