    Pop ups/tool tips

    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...

    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...
