In the forum lists, you can mouseover the thread title (link to a thread) and see a preview of the first few lines of the OP. Except. If you mouseover the title of a moved thread. Is is possible to add previews for moved threads? ---

Possible it will be for someone else to answer but I believe its always been like that even across the various upgrades and changes. ---

Ooops. No I’m looking where it was moved _to_. ---

Right, the problem is that you see a link to where it was moved _from_ but no preview. ---

Sometimes leaping before looking is safe. Really. So live a little: Just close your eyes, grimace a little, and click the link. How far wrong could it take you? 😃 Seriously, ref the other posters above I believe it’s always been this way on every browser & skin I’ve used. Which sorta implies its a vBulletin limitation we’re stuck with. ---

Hey, I ain’t a-scared-a no links. After all, I do use I’m Feeling Lucky. 🙂 But I do like efficiency.
