What are you referring to when you say "thread preview", can you be more specific?

Sorry for the confusion, I am talking about the option that allows you to see the first part of a thread by "mousing over" the title.

Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) and set Length of Thread Preview Display to a positive number (if it's set to 0 then it is disabled).

Are you using a customised skin?

Does this function not work if you do because mine doesn't work still do I need to add something to the code?

Firstly, is it enabled in your vBulletin Options? (Refer to Lynne's Post)

If it is then check your threadbit template. AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > (From Right pane) Edit Templates > ThreadBit Templates > threadbit

Look for something like the following, it will be near the beginning somewhere, yours may differ slightly due to customisation:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
<td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
</if>

<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

$thread[title_editable]
<div>
Make sure you have the bit in green, else edit it in if you don't have it.
