Would it be possible to lengthen the time for the popup message box to stay up when you put your cursor on a subject line? This is a neat feature but it only stays up for a few seconds, it would be nice if it would stay up as long as the cursor is over the link.

This is not a feature of the forums, it is a feature of your browser, I have no control of the pop up time. With IE, the popup should stay as long as you dont move the cursor. Not sure about other browsers.

Joe - I am using IE6 right now, at my other Win98 machine I use IE5. On both machines the popup (maybe not correct term) stays up for about 10 seconds, then goes away. I can repeat and it does it every time...

My popup stays up as long as I keep it over the thread subject....

I have IE 5, I think. Maybe IE 6.. whatever that newest one is, it's one version older.

Interesting. My mouse-over lasts for approximately six seconds. I run IE5.5, so perhaps there is a way to alter it.
