tammyw Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I loved that feature on the previous version. I notice it's not available for this version. I really liked being able to mouse-over the title to see what the thread was generally about. It saved time clicking on a thread that wasn't relevant to what I was looking for. Can we possibly get that feature back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm also finding it annoying to have that feature lost. Is there a way for it to come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Another vote in agreement. It would reduce the demand on the server too, since people wouldn't click on threads they had no interest in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 There is a button to "preview" a post and it drops down underneath the link. The button is on the right side before it tells you who the last poster was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's helpful, as I never saw that before, but I still really liked the mouse-over function, as it didn't require a click, and was faster than using preview.

ThisIsTheDay Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I noticed that feature missing immediately. "Preview" doesn't help; if anything, it's actually SLOWER than clicking open the thread. :( That's the one feature I hate about College Confidential, I can't mouse over to see what the post is really about . . . And the new board is sooooooo slow. I wonder why, as I know it specifically was updated to fix that (not that I ever had a problem before!). Kinks, it will take time to work out the kinks!

tammyw Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've tried the Preview button, and I honestly hate it. It takes two clicks to see it and then close it. Might as well open the thread. Honestly, I'm sad enough about the changes, that I find myself not really coming here much :( I loved this place. But on the other hand, I'll have more free time!

Actually I find the new "preview" function handier than the old mouse over post function because the preview shows not only original post but how conversation has morphed into last post.

MamaBearTeacher Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That's the first thing I noticed about the new forum! Please bring the mouseover back! It was the greatest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I can make it a mouseover but not until next week. the current preview is the default for the software installation and so I just left it. The site should be faster as I fixed a problem on the server that happened durring the upgrade. John Great! Thanks again for all your work. I didn't realize how much I utilized that mouse-over feature until it was gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
