The best way to show you the idea is to show you the site where I saw it. I'm not sure if the site is using Ajax or some of other programming language, but I think the application on VBulletin would be incredible.
If you want to see what I'm thinking, go to the link below and click on the very first story:

You'll see a window pop open - in a very clean, non-intrusive, way.
Any thoughts?
Does a vbulletin plugin like this already exist?
