Just take a look here: BSD Foren

If you keep your mouse above a thread in the list, a small summary (the first xxx characters) are displayed in a small window! This is really a useful feature for the next rev of the boards.

Is the new view going to be much different than the present? I find that most other, "more advanced" forums are bloated and ugly...

No, sorry. It's top secret I am sure.

Wouldn't want OTHER forums to rip off the look and feel of MacNN.

One thing I should like to see is 'Search this forum' text disappear when you click in the search box.

Picky I know, but it would save me a second or two everytime

ho ho, I hope we don't repeat the woes of the last major upgrade/changeover. That was a nightmare.
