When viewing forum display (listing of threads in forum) and you hover your mouse over the thread title, that little pop-up preview window - what's the css class / template for this? I'd like to spruce it up a bit.

Thank you

What you are referring to is a 'title' element on template 'threadbit'. Title elements can not be styled directly therefore there is no CSS for this element.
<div class="threadinfo" title="{vb:raw thread.preview}">

What can be done is to use javascript/jquery for a tooltip and unlink this one from the title element. vBulletin might already have javascript hooked into its title elements, but I am not seeing one being fired off. Still I could be missing something.

I know this doesn't help, but at least you can stop searching for the CSS! :)

If you google javascript tooltip you will get lots of information. I would use a jquery solution if you are a beginner.

Thanks for trying to help me. I'd prefer not adding more javascript to keep the load minimal.

Hopefully someone else knows about this

Because of what it does and where it does it, you really will not find another solution. You just have a 50-100 bytes of JavaScript (uncompressed) which you could add to the template, or combine with another JavaScript file (I prefer this method for other reasons) -- to avoid the HTTP request. There should be almost no measurable difference in load.
