Two Portal Enhancements

[Nate Laverdure]

Problem: these preview tooltips are huge and kind of annoying.

Is there an option to limit thread preview size? Maybe we could have a spinner in User CP that determines the maximum number of words or characters in the tooltip.

Or better yet, in lieu of a tooltip, display a small (javascript?) preview pane that appears after hovering over a title in the portal. The pane could be movable, scrollable, expandable, and copy-and-pasteable to dynamically adjust to how much of the first post the user wanted to read.

Or even better still, steal one from TiddlyWiki (sans the fancy animations) and display some of the first post (again, a spinner might be useful) right after a thread title when it is clicked in the portal. When another thread title is clicked, make the old preview pane go away, and make a new one appear.

Just a few ideas. Thanks for all your work!
