At first I thought this was just SDMB but it is happening on other boards too. That’s why I posted GQ instead of ATMB. If you mouseover a thread title, normally you get a little pop-up with the first few lines of the post. I am no longer getting this behavior in Chrome (although it still works in IE and Firefox).

I have very occasionally had that stop working in other browsers. IME closing all browser tabs then reopening solves the problem. Give that a try & let us know what you find.
