When ever I see an interesting thread, I put my mouse over the thread title and see the first couple of sentences. In the “moved” threads, this is not the case. Is there a reason for this? It would be great if the scroll over function worked on the moved threads as well. Thanks!

It works if you go to the forum the thread was moved to.

I think it’s a quirk of vBulletin rather than something that the administrators can select. Other vBulletin forums I’ve visited do the same thing.

The “moved thread” notice is simply the actual url of the thread as shown in the old forum area. I don’t think it contains any other information.
