This modification adds the preview of the first post within a topic. The admin has the ability to choose the length of the preview within the Admin section under Posts & Topics. Please note the message preview length by default is set to 0, which renders no preview.

I think this might improve usability.  It would be a nice feature.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The problem is the small GIRLFRIEND 2.1 dll's that have written themselves into the OS and are now memory resident forever.

This mod is working isn't it?  I see the preview on the last 5 messages listed at the bottom of the front page.

I don't think so. I am WAPI right now, but I think you are describing the 5 most recent posts in the information center.

That mouseover preview thing wasn't my favorite feature in the world, anyway. I hate the way the URLs baloon up at you on espn.com. They even took it off their main page, but left it on subordinate pages.

Right, but when I mouse over the 5 most recent posts, I get a small pop window showing a preview of the post by the persons name.
I just went and did a screen cap.

There are some built in features to SMF. While there are some "preview" features on recent replies, the message preview on mouseover doesn't work while in a board. Besides, it's not compatible with our version of SMF.
