Just wanted to say a big thank you to @Don for getting this modal working. I’d been struggling with it for a while and had tried a few different approaches, but Don managed to put together a solution that actually works properly. Really appreciate you taking the time to build it and share it — it’s exactly what I was trying to achieve and has saved me a lot of head scratching. Thanks again, Don. Really grateful for the help. 🙌 > [@Topic Preview Modal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-preview-modal/409712/): > > information_sourceSummary Topic Preview Modal – open and interact with topics without leaving the topic listeyeglassesPreview [Theme Creator](https://discourse.theme-creator.io/theme/Don/topic-preview-modal)hammer_and_wrenchRepository [GitHub - VaperinaDEV/discourse-topic-preview-modal: Open a topic directly from the topic list in a native Discourse modal, read and interact with the topic, and then continue browsing the list without navigating away from it. · GitHub](https://github.com/VaperinaDEV/discourse-topic-preview-modal)questionInstall Guide [How to install a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682) … --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/facebook-style-topic-modal-is-it-better/408565)._
