One more try for Snap Preview Anywhere

Some new options are available for Snap Preview Anywhere that made me decide to give it another try.
- First, there's an option to use a little preview icon instead of the entire link to trigger the preview. That doesn't get in the way of clicking on links. That was one of my problems with it in the first place.
- You can choose your own color theme with the service now. This makes it easier to blend the previews into your site's existing theme.
- You can make the script load after your page completes loading. This is a plus in case their server is offline, because you won't have to wait for the load of their script to time out before your page renders.
- You can add your own logo to the preview bubble.
- You can give users the option to turn previews on or off.
I haven't started using the last two options, but I've tried out the other three. I'm not totally sold but I think it's an improvement.
There are still some problems with it. Hopefully they'll address them soon. I still get this little annoying popup whenever I use it on my site in IE 7.
I sent them the exact location where this blows up on my browser the last time I had their script installed. It doesn't look like they've worked out a fix for it yet. If they don't come up with something, I'll take it down again. I don't like broken scripts.
