I have completed what I think is a great adjustment to Snitz.
The code adjustment allows users to hover over a topic title and view the first 200 characters of the post (or however many characters you want) in a 'title' box.
It works as a html title="Message of the Post..." in the <a> tag.
It adds about 4 snips of code to forum.asp, active.asp, and search.asp.
I will be happy to provide line numbers/code or full page code if anyone is interested in this. Please Email me if you would like the code posted.<
 Sort direction, for dates DESC means newest first

LOL, If the base Snitz had that, I'd have removed it withing the first 5 minutes. I think it's annoying as hell. Amazing how people think differently.<

I like it, since it keeps me from having to go into every post that is titled 'Help!' just to see if it is a problem I can help with or not.
I just hover and move on to the next if it isn't related to something I know about.
Here is the full code: http://www.2000webdesign.com/CodeShare/forum.txt http://www.2000webdesign.com/CodeShare/active.txt http://www.2000webdesign.com/CodeShare/search.txt
It would be easy to copy and paste it this way into your .asp files. Or, you can find the code changes by searching for ****** since I marked comments with this to find the changes easily.<

I think it would be REALLY cool if the base Snitz had an admin option to turn this on or off... or even better, a member's option to show it or not.<

Should be 4 lines added/adjusted per asp page. Total of 16.
A couple areas just adjust what is already on a line.<

Great MOD!
One minor problem, though. When somebody puts a "'" in their post (i.e. I'm) it puts an "A" before it (i.e. IA'm). Any ideas?<

If the post begins with something other than text, i.e. a quote or image, the preview shows the HTML. Is this correct, or did I make a mistake somewhere? Perhaps a conflict with one of my other mods?<
