Why? Surely if you want to read the first post, you just click on the title link???

filipharvey · #2 (**Post Link**) 16-08-09

Oh. I get it now I've actually clicked it!

Forget what I said, it's actually quite a good feature!

I agreed with you. But now I agree with you.

If you see what I mean.

Mind you, the tooltip thingy you can usually get a good gist of the first post from.

Yeh, I getcha!

True, the tooltip can give you a good jist, but I guess this new things saves you opening less interesting threads.

It saves you tryingto read the tool-tip at a hundred miles an hour as it closes four seconds later

It helps in search results mainly as you dont have to navigate away from the results page to see if this is something you want to read, it also reduced server loads as it doesnt have to keep loading big long pages to find out its not what the member was looking for.

The biggest win will be for those with mobiles that can use java/ajax as they no longer have to download the entire thread data on 3G/GPRS to find its not what they wanted!

Haven't tried that yet Ian, but

for the effort. Apologies for the original, misinformed derogatory comments!
