"Hover to Preview" Feature Yay or Nay?

Please vote one way or the other on having the feature that allows users to hover over a thread title to preview the contents of the thread.

Normally, this is not a Democracy, but Sprint asked me to start a Poll.

some of the members on here like to fool us with one word titles sometimes or not very clear or specific ones...that feature saves us from wasting more time than we already do and gives you a preview or tease to what you're gonna be reading about. i think we definately should have it, but that's just me.

I think it's great. Are there any negatives to enabling it? Does it take up bandwidth or something? I'm all for it.

I first found it annoying when the feature came out, but now I find it is a necessity for any forum I visit for the same reasons as everyone else.

Guess that's another vote

A few people found the feature to be annoying and asked that we try it turned off. Sprint complied for a few days, and has now taken it to a vote.

I think it's great, but I can't imagine anyone with a narrowband connection objecting to it.

I don't really use it. If it slows down site speed, guess not opening and loading the page saves you time. I don't care cuz I have high speed now. Maybe I'll start since I spend too much time. Guess I'll say yes, keep it.
