I used a link posted on here some time ago to download a facility for
previewing posts, without having to keep going on to the full thread.
Very useful. My PC crashed yesterday and I've lost it
please can anyone give me the link again?

Thank you.

It was so useful and made trawling so much more productive......I am very cross I managed to lose it in all the PC crashing stuff!

Bump, I missed that one. Hope someone else might be able to help.

Another forum I am on which is v Bulletin you can hover over the thread title and see the first few lines of the post to see what it is about and if its interesting. Maybe that would be an option here?

This version we are using is from 2009 which is a good model tho it doesn't seem to have all the add-ons that other forums using same VB have also added.

This was a little app you download and it shows a little blue box thing next to every thread tittle. You just click on it and you can read a quick preview of the first couple of posts to see if you want to read the whole thing. Saves so much wasted time with my slow internet connection. Aaaaargh! Wish I could find the link.

Was it forum runner?

 

[Mrs Jingle]

I dont think that was the name, but then again I cant be sure? Is that the same thing?

 

[Mrs Jingle]

No - I have just googled the forum runner, it wasn't that one. I seem to remember that the one I was using only works on Firefox not Goggle.

Dont panic

Its Interclue and its for Firefox

Another really handy one is Lazarus for Firefox. It remembers your previous posts so if things crash half way through posting you can recall it all without having to retype everything.

Wahooo!!! thank you so much Skippy Mum - I have now downloaded it and I am happily trawling the latest threads!
