Minecraft Forums

Often-times, I'm not interested in a thread. I just don't look at those. Sometimes, though, I see a title and am mildly curious where the OP is going. On the old forum, I'd click the little arrow that had a mouse-over of "preview this topic", and read the first so many characters of the OP. Sometimes this led me to going to that thread. Without that feature, I can guarantee I'd use the forum less, look at less topics, and generally be less interested. A simple click to preview is far more likely to happen than loading another page only to skim the OP and then probably return to the previous page.

I'm not linking an example. It's the entire freaking menu of every layer of the old forum.
