Seeing enhancement effects when leveling

Can you explain why you want to?
Not saying you shouldn't just wondering why. It's not like you can change anything.

I'll vote for this.
Raven, the reason I'll often want to is when I'm placing slots - if (say) all of my attack powers could take extra slots, and all but 2 of are capped for damage, it'd be good to be able check which 2 to add extra slots for.

You know I'm sitting here and I'm not sure why, I just found it a pain last night while slotting and I'm not 100% sure what it was that was so annoying. 
I've a feeling it was to do with not being able to see the current effects of IO sets, but I could be wrong. I'll have a look again tonight when StT hits 47 and see if I can see what was annoying me so much, though as 47 is a power it'll not be as annoying 
Seems fair, though I think it's rather simple to do without.
Might I suggest adding this to GR's QoL thread. It sounds like just the kind of minor change they were looking for.
Putting my programmer head on, I can't see an obvious reason why it would be hard to do since that display pops up on other powers displays. Of course, that could be the reason, focus would shift to the pop-up window making it harder to handle the click for slot/power selection.
One other thing: is this information not available from the detailed power info displays?

Chatting with my wife at lunch time reminded me what the problem is.
If you've slotted a power with TOs DOs SOs YOs or basic IOs you can see just looking at the slots how things are.
For example it I've 4 slots in a power with 1 Acc SO and 3 Dam SOs, I know that I've hit the damage cap and I should have no problem with knowing if I need more Acc, Rech, End etc as I've been using the power.
However if I've slotted with IO set bits the 4 slots might have
Acc/Dam lvl 25
Dam/End lvl 29
Acc/Dam/Rech lvl 28
Dam/Range lvl 30
For example and I'll have no real idea if I've hit the Damage Cap etc. Yes you can add it up or you can check before you go to level so it's not a game breaker, but the computer could do it for me and does elsewhere.
If you mouse over the power bar in the enh management screen it tells you there how much (in %) the power has been enhanced by. Resistances / Defense tends to max out at around 60%, while everything else at around 100%, as well as now giving you the actual base and enhanced numerical values. Not sure what else you'd need to know?

I think he means that system but on the screen you use to assign new slots when you lvl instead of having to cancel/open enchancement screen/check/return to lvling up

Yes I mean that system, I'm amazed they didn't just use the same screen/code for both.
As I said, I suspect it has to do with the fact that the enhancement pop-up 'covers' the power, so making a click harder to place.
Since they did not use the same code, it seems likely there is some reason. However, the coding in this game is notoriously bad at reuse (ever noticed how the stations all behave in slightly different ways to each other?) so it may just be they never put the code in that display.

the only thing i do want to see is an effect to see it's effect coming to life.
so let's say you made your speed higher, eventually you will see some after images of your character because of the speed, or when your damage is higher then some kind of hit effect appears.
Well that was off-topic. 
I'm sure this must have been suggested before sorry if it has.
It seems odd that you can't see the effect of the enhancements you have already slotted when leveling. I think you should be able to. Yes I know you can look at them before you level, and it's not a big deal, but it is annoying.
