Increase the time on the preview boxes

    Okay, I know I'm getting on a bit and I have to squint at the screen. Maybe it takes me longer than your average bear to focus on the little preview boxes that pop up in the forums. What is the time allowed now? 5 secs? Could this be increased to 8 maybe? Not knowing how that would affect the DP's servers, I imagine this one could be put in the yeah...maybe later file, but it is such a useful function that it would be nice to have it last just a wee bit longer.

    You know when you drill down to a particular forum and run your cursor down the screen. The little yellow boxes that pop up to say what that post is about. I don't remember that being there before but I like it. It would just be nice if it gave a little more time.

    Oh... that's always been there, but that's nothing that can be controlled on this end. It's just links using the "title" tag. Your web browser is what controls how/when/how long those are seen.

    Yeah the yellow boxes are a nice added feature to reading threads before entering.

    If you've a title tag on your links (any), you can see them on any browser, its not the part of vBulletin or anything, just like alt tag for images.
