Preview box when pointer is on a topic?

Hey Roots Archives,

I was just browsing the forums and thought a good addition would be to have a window pop-up showing the first 'post' of a topic whenever you hover your mouse over the thread link.

I would like to see what a topic is about when it has a vague title(ex. a recent topic was "needle?").

Here is another forum that uses what I'm talking about (in case I was unclear). If you move your mouse over a topic, you can see the first post: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/forum ... .php?f=154

I don't know if this is something everyone would feel is a positive addition, and I don't know how hard it is to incorporate (I'm clueless to programming/creating sites, etc.), but maybe the community should take a look at and discuss the option.

Thanks for running such a great site,

-Matt

Not a programmer but I saw that feature more and more recently, I guess with ajax.

There a good example here (and a good french website by the way) on the centre column :
