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.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
