Ikadon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hello community, as I found this thread about "xenForo" in your off-topic section I went to see this new "messiah" (:rolleyes:) of all boards. Well, I must say there are a few things that seem more logical to me. For example the "topic preview". While in IP.Board we have to hover over the row of the thread and then click this small image, in xenForo you just need to hover over the actual link to the thread to display a topic preview. To me this is much more logical and user-friendly. I mean, I know what this little icon is about, but most of my users didn't even know that IP has something like a topic preview-function. (Apart from the fact that most users didn't even know what software I'm using oO) I guess it's more intensive to pull out the data when hovering instead of clicking? But is there an option to make the topic-preview-function more present? Regards, Ikadon PS: If you don't know what I mean, go here: http://xenforo.com/community/forums/suggestions-tweaks-small-features.18/ and hover over one thread.

Clickfinity Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This is already available as a mod for IPB ... the mod allows similar preview to xF as well as vB ... I use it on my own site in vB-style mode. Cheers, Shaun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Warcholak Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This is already [url="http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/2959-pin-topic-hover-preview/"]available as a mod[/url] for IPB ... the mod allows similar preview to xF as well as vB ... I use it on my own site in vB-style mode. Cheers, Shaun :D I'm thinking the OP would like that to be part of the core feature set given that the button doesn't function well for the reason he stated. Also, that mod doesn't seem to allow you to preview the first OR last post like the current preview button does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be good :) Also, that mod doesn't seem to allow you to preview the first OR last post like the current preview button does. Neither does the preview at xenForo ... :wink: Cheers, Shaun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Fox Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I didn't know about the hover thing in IPB either. Thanks. Recommend it'd be highlighted in next default version of IPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
