Incredible Time Savings. , Dec 22, 2012
Review written by Remote - see all my reviews (2)

As using scripts with Craigslist goes, this tool is by far the BEST one yet. No more waiting for individual page downloads, and no more multiple tabs just to see the post. This tool shows each post in it's entirety (along with pictures) simply by floating your mouse over the post title. Real Billy should be given an award for this script! IMPORTANT: Be sure to see Jefferson's Edit - see: http://userscripts.org/topics/120127 - as his genius bought the tool back to life after having been down for awhile (the edit returned the script to "working order" as of 12/21/2012).

excellent tool
others make image clutter
this one focuses on just what you are interested in and then gives you the detail

this works like clockwork without the click

Best CL preview script , Jul 1, 2010
Review written by goodgnus - see all my reviews (1)

There are other scripts out there with more functionality, but none as simple and elegant as this one. Been using it for years.

Unfortunately the script is no longer maintained by the developer.

You must make 1 change to the source code for it to work.

It appears that around the end of June 2010, CL started blocking this script by blocking the user-agent it passes during xmlhttprequest calls. It passes "monkeyagent". To make the script work you need to edit the source after installing (using the Edit function in Greasemonkey when managing user scripts). Change the text "monkeyagent" near the end of the script to something different or a random string. This fixed the script for me.

My final choice for preview , Apr 1, 2010
Review written by Rick Fisher - see all my reviews (9)

I have tried them all and even built some of my own and this is the only one that works reliably.
The hover works just like you want it to and the size is easy to read.
Great job.

A MUST have for avid Craigslisters , Jul 22, 2009
Review written by cory roussel - see all my reviews (1)

This script dramatically improves craigslist browsing and saves a ton of time... No opening 30 tabs at once then sorting through them individually. No more navigating back and forth from the post board...

Awesome.

Mouseovers Rule! Craigslist Post Preview Rocks! , Mar 24, 2009
Review written by Perplexed Guide - see all my reviews (7)

Great Greasemonkey Script for Craigslist works great with both the following:

1. Firefox Addon "CLPicView"
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/...

2. Greasemonkey Script "Craigslist locations filter + image preview"
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39793

All 3 of these are essential for a fully functional Craigslist.

Thank You!
