Mouse-over of thread titles

[Love Home 25]

Yes, Please bring back the mouse-over feature. It really saves time. Also the board is painfully slow now. Hopefully that is just temporary.

[NavyMommy 180]

I really miss the hover feature too. It makes the boards so much easier to use!

[Farrar 58,848]

If we can't get the hover back, is there a way to speed up the preview thingy?

 

What's the previewy thing?

 

I have super missed the hover. I had no idea I was using it so much.

On the forum list, to the right of the thread title is a pull down arrow that shows the start of the first post. I think it's so if you're browsing on a mobile device, you get the hover functionality.

It may speed up once the server gets moving faster, but intially it was as slow as opening the page (if it even loaded).

[Juniper 833]

Now that the forum is moving a bit faster I see that the drop down arrow gives you the first AND last post. This is really neat. It allows you to see how much a thread has rabbit trailed. ;)

[happypamama 10,318]

While I can see that the drop-down arrow is helpful, I too miss the hover feature!

[Laura Corin 35,739]

I miss the hover too. The down arrow still takes time to load - I used to scan down the list quickly, choosing to open the threads I was interested in or could help with.

Adding mine to the chorus of voices asking for the return of the hover! The preview is not nearly so efficient!

[goldberry 30,772]

Miss the hover! When I visited other forums, I was always wishing all forums had the hover.

[ALB 332]

Yes, please, please, please bring it back! I actually didn't even get on the forum for the last couple days because I didn't feel like bothering with it when I can't preview the threads. It really makes a world of difference!

Me, too. :( Any word on whether we can get this back?

[lcelmer 10]

I too, find myself uninterested in weeding through so much new content without the hover feature. Pretty pretty please bring it back?

[Grover 1,739]

My DH got tired of me moaning and wrote a little fix for me - it only works in Chrome at the moment, but he said if you want him to he can look at doing it for firefox too. It's not as good as the old hover mode, but it's better than nothing.

 

If you download https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2_Hn_5YNavcNkpnNmRtcWVheFU

and then click the wrench on the right hand side of the chrome screen, open tools, then extensions, and drag the file into there - enable it and you'll have a kind of hover feature back.

We hear you...update coming soon...

Thank you!!

[kbpaulie 43]

Definitely need the hover feature back please! Often the title is obscure and the hover saves a ton of time. THANKS for all the hard work!

 

 

:iagree:

[OtherJohn 10,000]

Ok, I added the mouseover preview. See if this helps...

[melmichigan 2,953]

Nice. Thanks!

[HollyB 68]

Thank you!!! :hurray:

Thank you, thank you!!!!

[VaKim 2,580]

Love this! I kept forgetting that I had opened the preview, and then accidently x-ing off the page after reading it (I always open in a new window).

[WishboneDawn 3,816]

Thank you! I was a little put out with the changes here at first but frankly, it's now better then the old boards and still getting better everyday.

[medawyn 1,967]

Thank you!

 

I can't tell you how much I (and probably others) appreciate your willingness to listen and make changes!

[TracyP 2,946]

Thank you! I really missed the hover feature.

[_melody_ 35]

Thank you! :)

[Jane in NC 48,817]

John is our hero! Send that guy a kilt!

[azucena 181]

Thank you!

[ChocolateMom 13]

Thank you! :001_smile:

[Nan in Mass 14,478]

The hover feature helps a lot! Thank you very much. I especially like the little button on the bottom that allows you to go directly to the new posts. It is rather nice seeing both the original post and another one, also. (I am getting two of the original, but I assume that is fairly easy to fix and I'd much rather have double than none.)

 

Thank you!

[Snow 847]

Wait, does this mean I can't preview from my iPad now? I don't see the little icon there any more so now I have to click on the post to see it??

[RootAnn 11,982]

It looks like that on threads that I haven't clicked on/read before, I get two of the original post & the most recent post. However, for threads I've already read (seen some posts of), I get the original post, the first NEW post (that I haven't read yet), and the most recent post (which is sometimes the same as first new).

 

Pretty neat stuff.

:-(. That's what I was seeing on my iPad and now it's gone.

IT'S BACK! Thank you, Other John!

[TKDmom 957]

Yep. I'm really liking the new features that are gradually trickling in.

 

:hurray:

[Skadi 219]

The arrow option is gone on the ipad. 😭

[fraidycat 10,881]

Ok, I added the mouseover preview. See if this helps...

[QuirkyKapers 478]

Thanks!

[Satori 54]

Thank you! :laugh:

[OtherJohn 10,000]

I will get it working for iPad shortly.

[Snow 847]

Thank you!

[TexasRachel 85]

Thanks so much!

[Susan Wise Bauer 100,170]

John, thanks for the very hard work!

[Bang!Zoom! 608]

John, the hover feature is just excellent, thanks a million! This is a really big deal for us. You are the best!

[Coffeemama 164]

:hurray:

[angelmama1209 134]

i also get 2 of the first post in the preview, but am so grateful to have the hover back!

[luvnlattes 99]

Yes, thank you!

[Audrey 18,803]

This new hover feature is 3x better than the old one. The old one gave you just the first few lines of a post.

 

Loving all the new features, and THANK YOU John for all your patience and hard work. :thumbup1:
