Forum view option similar to the view from post search function.Why not implement that into the way we view topics?


If you search for something it shows the first post and its contents aswell as the topic title and other information. I suggest limiting this slightly to allow for less stress on the server.

Changes:
Limit the size to only show the first X number of lines and instead of showing the whole post.instead of showing the full image it could have the link instead. this would allow for 10-15(adjustable) topics per page to allow easier forum viewing without slow load times.
