I know I said I was done for a whie, well I lied.  This would be most helpful on the forums and especially on the Last 100.   Mouse over shows the first part of the post.  You know how some of our subject lines are not even close to the actual problem(s).  It is just easier to mouse over and preview to decide whether or whether not you will be able to help.

Let me play with it to find the best way to do it without putting too much of a performance hit on the server. The first thing that comes to mind is to display the first 100 characters of the first post in a title tag.  I'll try to get to it this week.

Example

Perfect.  That was exactly how I was imagining it.

I just added this feature to the last 100 for now. I've stripped HTML tags from the title tag to prevent output errors. We'll see how well this does for now before I consider adding it elsewhere.

The last 100 is the only one I use.  And it works great.  Thank you.

If everybody likes it half as much as I do,  you did good.  It really is helpful.

Did we do away with adding an image to your signature line, or am I just an idiot and can not figure out how to do it?

Nope, you can still add small images. Click on the "Forum Codes" link just above the Post Reply button below.

I thought you could put a picture in your signature line and have it come up every post without having to do anything.

You're welcome. I'd like to see that page display less than 100 topics.
