    I have decided to start this poll to see how many people actually read the summary which is hovering over the topic link before actually entering the topic.

    Thanks

    With so many threads in all the sections, it help a lot in reading the summary before going into the thread. So, most of the times I read summaries.

    If the title doesn't convince me that I want to read the thread, then I check the summary. :)

    I vote yes. A built-in cool-iris if i may. ;)
    cool-iris is a FireFox add-on. Total page preview. :cool:
    Before that, twas a right click & open new tab. Before that was open a new window.

    The preview is small and informational and has become, automatic reading.
    It pop's up and gets read subconsciously.

    The question might be, can this feature be turned off for those the vote no?
    I know it's hard, cant please every one. :rolleyes:

    Paul'y.

    Yes, I do. If the summary not interesting enough, I won't bother to read the thread.
