When you look at the list of new posts, if you position the mouse pointer over a Thread header, you get a pop-up that shows the first couple of lines of the first post in the thread. I find this a very useful feature.

Is there anyway of doing something similar on the 'Goto New Posts' and 'Last Post' arrows, so that they display a pop-up with a couple of lines from the first new post and the last post respectively? This would be particularly when someone votes on an old poll, and the last post is over a year old...

Not without serious hacking of the software (http://www.vbulletin.com/), unless someone's been there before you (http://www.vbulletin.org/)...

:yeah:

Great idea David. With so many polls on here now, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with true content in these threads :)

What would really be useful if the tool-tip told you how many new posts there were...
