Since there seem to be an awful lot of worthless posts getting vote-deleted lately, i figured someone might find this useful, if only in satisfying their curiosity:
Download userscript here[^]. Adds "show content" link to deleted posts.
It's not polished at all - notably, it doesn't work if you navigate to a post using the keyboard or a direct link. But frankly, i haven't found it useful enough to spend any time on it, so... take it for what it's worth.

Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?-- Nish on sketchy hiring practices

When you click on the Show Content and then click on the Username to show the account profile, it doesn't work. If you click on the Username without clicking on Show Content, it works fine.

Huh, weird. Eh, quick'n'dirty is as...whatever.

In this post[^] the poster wrote some code in bold, but the colorizer overrides that formatting with its own, so I can't tell which part of the code he's talking about. It would be nice to have another link at the top of the block that reverts back to the regular <pre> styles.

Sounds reasonable. Done.
(you may need the latest userscript[^] to see the toolbar, but there ought to be a show original item on it now...)

Move the mouse over a message or username that is towards the bottom of the screen such that there's not enough room to preview either, and it flickers forever.
|

Huh? Not sure what you're talking about - i can hover over anything* without flicker... 
*except a candle flame. But i don't really want to hover over those...

If you have FF[^] maximized and move the mouse to the last post above the bottom of your desktop, you may see it flicker[^]. I know it does on mine.

Hmm... 'fraid i just don't see it.

I'm on my laptop now and I don't see it at home. I consistently see it at work. Must be a plugin or something.

Any chance you can add the post preview in the messages posted page please?

Only by loading all 50 messages in the background. That would be... slow.

You're talking about this page[^], right?

Yeah. I could swear at one point all forums had preview.

Inspired by Bassam's question below:
If you could pick anything, what would you like to see on a "CP overview" page?
Personally, i'm interested in seeing:
- new / updated articles
- popular articles
- forum watches
- current poll + poll results
- site search
Most of these are currently on the main page, along with a lot of other stuff i never use (ads, articles menu, news, etc...)
Thoughts?

We probably can't remove those. I doubt we'd make Chris happy. 
My CP Overview page would look exactly like yours. I'd probably expand the forum watches for that page to the last 10 threads, though. I'd have a short summary of the first post underneath the title (first 100 characters?) A count of how many messages posted in each thread since my last visit, etc. (Some of those are plans I have for the current forum watch code...)
I'd bump the poll up near the top of the page, since I'd like to give it a bit more visibility. I'd make the article categories I watch a little bit more fine-grained.
I'd get rid of the product showcase, since I don't care. Or at least move it down the page a lot, so I don't have to care.
etc. etc. etc.
We are certainly uncertain
at least I'm pretty sure I am...

Probably not. And FWIW, i don't block ads on CP (except for flash ads, which i block everywhere) - but i don't really see them either. It's as though i've developed blind spots. Personally, i'd just as soon have one ad per page, "pinned" next to a HUD of sorts (recent articles, threads, maybe search...)
Eh, we'll see...

Yeah...besides, it'll all change in a month or so anyway, right? 
We should probably work on abstracting a framework for dealing with Posts, Replies, Forums, Users, etc. It would be useful to have Real Soon Now.

Can you do views? How about a new thread view? One that only shows the new posts in trees.
For example, if message is new, keep it and all its children.
If message is old, hide up to node that has new child post.
Old
--> Old (Hide)
--> Old (Hide because of parent)
--> Old (Show because of child)
--> Old (Hide)
--> Old (Hide because of parent)
--> New (Show)
--> New (Show)
--> New (Show because of parent)

Instead of doing forum watches the way you have them, how about a tabbed preview like the lounge has for each thread type, if you're worried about real estate?

That really only makes sense for The Lounge (and, maybe, The Soapbox). Most other forums pretty much stick to a single type of message (for thread heads anyway).
Now, it would be nice to have an "unanswered questions" ForumWatch...
