    How to display part of a thread in a pop up

    Hi,

    Is it possible to display part of a thread inline. Like first 100 words or something. I noticed on some vbulletin sites, if I move my cursor over a thread, a pop up appears displaying part of the message ?

    thanks.

    I think you mean this setting:

    Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) -> Length of Thread Preview Text

      Is there a limit to how much someone should show? What looks the best?

        I'm sure there is some kind of limit of this field in the database. I suggest using the default setting of '150' then changing it if you find this is not what you want.
