Message Preview window disappears

When I hover over a thread a preview window opens. However, this disappears after a few seconds. Is there anyway of making this stay longer or ideally stay until I move the mouse?

    Does anyone understand why the preview is sometimes the whole post but at others there is just one line? (like now?)

    Thats the bit that puzzles me Traf.

    Normally I see the whole thing but for instance tonight it is back to one line again. it seems to fluctuate and I wondered if it was connected to the volume of new posts or something. Not a big deal, it just puzzled me a bit. And that's easily done :D

    It's fine for me now but your right ,it could be the high volume but it's more likely those cheeky tweakers messing about behind the scenes again:D

    fiddling with the settings:eek:

    or it could just be you :rotfl:

    It's always been just a single line in firefox - I'll need to find out if there is a tweak somewhere

    the flashing seems to be if the preview touches the top/bottom of the screen

    It flashes on and off if there isn't enough room for it on the page. I've cured this by scrolling down......so that the post I'm trying to preview is near the bottom of the page, then there is usually enough room above to show the preview.
