What about the option for each user to choose if he wants to see a Thread Preview in new reply pages?

And the purpose of this being?...

1. I don't like previews.
   
2. Just seconds before posting this, I was replying to a thread which loaded a long preview.
   
3. Just suggesting.
   

I've removed the thread preview from my own new reply page. I have a sneaking suspicion nobody will miss it.

I think it can be useful - maybe make it so it is collapsed and then open on a click.

It can be useful, but lots of things that can be useful are never or almost never used. In this case, I would rather get rid of an unpopular feature than keep it on the off-chance that someone wants it. If someone wants to review the thread that badly, it's not difficult to open it in a new tab.

Yes, collapsed may be cool (like a jQuery popup), and maybe a option to limit the number of posts, although pretty sure that is already available.
