Is the preview pane avialable on this forum? And how do I turn it on if it is?
If it's a feature that is available in the software, it must be an administrative function that wasn't used (like user avatars). If it was a user selectable option it would be in the options (MyFlyerTalk>Edit Options), but it isn't there.
If you're using Firefox, there are several extensions available to do that (I'm using Cooliris, which puts a a little clickable icon next to the link when you mouse over it, clicking the icon pops up a preview).
EDIT: Actually, you can set it to automatically show the preview after a set number of milliseconds, and there are other user settable options as well).
