Snap previews for URL links now available

, posted: 17-Dec-2006 20:18

We have just added another feature to Geekzone that should be useful: Snap previews for URLs. The Snap previews work with Javascript and give you an instant thumbnail preview of the page that is linked to in a URL. The advantage of this is that you can get an idea of the page behind the URL without having to navigate away from the current page, or opening up a new one.

Try them out by hovering your mouse pointer over a URL. It'll look something like:

Snap

Impressive, huh?

The Snap feature is enabled throughout Geekzone, including the forums and blogs.

Please let us know what you think of it.

This is a great feature. Good for checking out those spam links without having to follow them
