When my cursor hoovers a thread title in the hot deals or other forum, the additional information quickly flashes on and then off.

When my cursor hoovers a thread title in the hot deals or other forum, the additional information quickly flashes on and then off - this happens in a total of a split second.

This only happens on my new laptop W7-64 bit. In the past the little info window with several lines of additional information would stay visible for about 5 seconds.

Is there a way for us to control this? I kind of liked being able to see the addl info. Can we also reset it to stay up for 10 seconds or so?

Thanks in advance

If you mean the preview tooltip, that is entirely up to your browser - it's just a title attribute, no custom handling, so there's nothing we can do about the behavior you're seeing

Thanks for the reply.
I have found that IE 8-64 bit handles this "attribute" normally, that is, the little info pop up stays up for about 5 seconds. Waterfox, a 64 bit browser, based on firefox, simply flashes this info on and off. The whole cycle being under 1 second.
Is there a place in IE, firefox/waterfox, etc., where one can find the handling program's preference dialog box or ?cmd line area to alter/adjust this?
