In some debate forums if you hold the mouse over the title of the thread you get to see what it is about before you click on it. This saves time so you dont have to wait for the page to load, decide you dont want to participate in that particular thread and then do it again, and again until you find one that you like.

Could you post some forums that do this? I'll take a look at them and see if I can add something similar here.

I think this mod is causing problems on my computer. Note that I just reinstalled Win 98 SE and IE 6 on my computer, so the fault might be my own.


A screenshot would probably best show how my computer displays the forums. It appears that the code for mouse-overs isn't recognised.:

I forgot to check the subSilver style. It should work now.

Superb! Much appreciated. I must be the only one to use this style.
