Dithering

With the rodent that is.

When I do it over thread titles on other forums I get a preview of the first few lines which lasts as long as I dither.

On pprune it only lasts for about three seconds and I'm not that quick at reading these days.

Is it a feature or is it something I can adjust ?

Which browser & version are you using? FWIW with Firefox 7.0.1 on Linux it lasts until the mouse is moved sufficiently. It might be a setting somewhere, but if so it's whatever default I've been given.

It lasts until you move the mouse. If you can't manage to keep the mouse still, consider a trackpad

It disappears even if I let go of the mouse. It happens using FF or Opera, but not on other sites.

It stays for me when using Chrome or IE.

Same for me as Mr Vulcan

I only get a 3 second preview and then have to move the cursor away and back to the thread for another 3 seconds.

I just presumed it was the way this BB was designed - bit irritating but I can live with it.

It stays as long as I want using Opera on my machine.

Most odd.
