Mouse Pointer Action on New Threads

When you place your mouse pointer on the thread a preview box of the thread wording appears but only for a few moments. Question: How do you keep the wording in the box up while you read the preview? I assume there is a key to hold down but I can't find it. Thanks,

I don't think there is one but what I do to remedy this is after the words go away, I just move the mouse off the text then on it again really quickly, and the text comes up again and stays longer.

Just move the mouse over another one and then come back and it should show the preview again.

Speed reading is required, it wont stay open. But as mentioned above, you can just move the pointer away and then bring it back to reload the window.

I just gently massage the thread link with the cursor and it stays on as long as I keep petting it.
