Can’t mouse over a thread title to see the first few lines of a post. I appreciated that a lot, when I could do it. Any chance it could happen here? ---

I’m using chrome and the Sam’s Simple theme and I’m not seeing mouseovers at all. Is this something that needs to propagate through the system or am I doing something wrong? ---

Mouseover now works for me, possibly because I logged out, closed the tab, and restarted. I’m in firefox btw. Edit to add: mouseover works in chrome also, even though I’m not logged in there. ---

Either I am a complete idiot, or there’s something odd about my Chrome. Logged out, closed/reopened Chrome, logged back in, still no mouseover. ---

None of those offers adequate visual separation between posts for my ease-of-reading liking, and elsethread, I’ve seen at least one other person using the same theme/browser/OS who does get mouseovers. ---

The Straight Dope themes have mouse-over now. The other themes don’t. OTOH, Sam’s Theme has some good stuff on the Thread List page (like the OP’s name and latest poster’s name shown in plain-text and the time-stamps of those two posts) which the SD themes do not. Elsewhere, several posters have agreed that this is a persuasive argument for Sam’s Theme. But now with mouse-over only in the SD themes, we are conflicted as to which theme to use! I’ve created a thread, [One Theme To Rule Them All](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-theme-to-rule-them-all/912639), where we can all discuss what we like and don’t like in the themes we’ve tried, and what we want to see in a theme. If we come to some general consensus on what a good theme should have, then maybe TPTB can pull all the best features together into one theme. ---
