At least that's what i think it's called: tooltip. This hack will show the first 150 characters of the first post if you hold your mouse over the link to a thread on the forumdisplay page. A screenshot is included in the zip, together with installation instructions. Enjoy.

Isn't it actually one query per thread displayed?

I'm assuming that you are pulling from the first post, and not dumping this information into its own table.

I'd love to use this, but I also don't want a bazillion queries running on my site.

:D

nicksaunders made the same hack, but which only uses 1 query or so I think. :)

unfortunately for all of us, it also would require mod_rewrite and/or the disabling of the coveted DOT icons :(

If only there could be peace in the world... <sniff> :)

If there was a way to still enable the dot icons and use nicks' at the same time, that would be awesome.

Rake,
This is a good idea, but as we mentioned, depending on how many threads you allow to be displayed on each page, there are that many queries added to your page totals.

On a large site, you would see massive bogdown issues, as this would essentially double the amount of queries per page :(
