Topic Preview is amazing! I’m still thinking a little about the implementation and how I might tweak it, though. The expanding DIV is clever but a little jarring, and there is no way for users to avoid it. My recommendation would be:

1. Instead of making the whole title “hot” for the mouseover, append a small mouseover [preview link] to the end of the topic title. (To conserve clutter, eventually it could optionally be linked to the new post indicator I’m working on)

2. Instead of disrupting the page layout with an expanding div, do an overlay div like snap, http://www.snap.com/snapshots_faq.php
