why no option for those of us that never see it, I browser the forums NEARLY exlcusively using new content. Now topic preview hover there. so I can't vote.

Ditto, wouldn't mind seeing it work on the spy page as well. Along with an option to disable it for those that don't like it, an additional option to have it default to the last post versus the first would be useful as well.

I have a way to disable it via adblock feature, but I can not believe such an thing was even implemented without a way for users to disable it!! If there was not a way to disable it, to be honest I would prob have to call it an end to visiting neowin.. Yes I HATE THE FEATURE that much!!! You do not pop **** up on a simple mouse over - you DONT!!

Topic preview in 3.2.0 is really good, so we'll wait for that.

I will but this is one of the few features that still couldn't convince me. It's rather annoying but, as you said, I should wait for the new version. However, if the new version doesn't get accepted, will you guys add an option to disable it?

Yeah, just had a look and I must say this will be much better, rather than being activated on hover there is a switch to preview a topic on the right hand side. Take a look.

I don't mind it but considering I mainly use the Spy to view content, it's not really something I make the most use of. I like the look of the 3.2 topic preview though: everything in 3.2 seems to have been upgraded and made better to look at.

Yeah, I pretty much rely on the "New Content" button and the "View all posts by..." option from the "View My Content" option in my username drop down menu.

I presume that topic preview doesn't work there as it isn't something that I come across all that option. I usually just open the thread that I am interested in a new tab anyway and close it down when I am done.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
