Topic Preview hover added to forums


Recommended Posts

caerma -- read through the thread, the .js to block is listed - if you need walk through help, just PM and happy to help.

As I stated Im all for new features, etc. and that is great - but something that is going to popup a window if your mouse lingers too long really should be a selectable feature and not something forced upon the user base.

If you are going to say that much you might as well just quote yourself, or at least tell him what page it's on.

regardless of delay -- is there a way to disable it?? I looked in the forum settings in my profile and did not see one. If not guess time to write a greasemonkey script ;)

edit: Ok got it fixed ;) Just blocked this js "https://www.neowin.net/forum/public/js/ips.hovercard.js"

Should still make it a setting users can turn off in their profile.

There ya go!

lol Can't make everyone happy.

Of course they COULD. It is called giving people an option to turn the feature on or off at will, instead of requiring them to install an ad blocker just to block it. I don't mind it on my desktop, but it is ****ing annoying on my netbook when browsing through the forums.

I take back what I said earlier. The topic preview is actually MORE annoying on my desktop than on my netbook, since it now seems to pop up the instant that I put my mouse pointer over a link to a forum thread (on my netbook, it takes a couple of seconds before it pops up).

edit: it seems to only be instant on a topic that I've looked at before but that has new replies. I'm thinking that it is cacheing something on my system and poping up faster in those cases.

How do I block this JS with Firefox, I downloaded GreaseMonkey or whatever and cant figure it out!?

I'd like to be able to disable also, it's an annoyance to me.

What is annoying, how people do not read posts before their post to see how to disable it.......

Nuff Said

Its pretty ironic if you ask me -- neowin pretty much frowns on the use of adblockers, and then they put in a nonsense feature that clearly quite a few people are unhappy about and the only way to disable the feature is with the adblockers they are not so happy with.

Hmmm let me see something POPS up on the web site -- does not take a rocket scientist to figure out prob quite a few people wont like it.

To be honest if there was no way to disable it -- I would be done with neowin, I despise the feature that much!!! Remove it or have simple easy way for users to disable it!

Reword that - you should not have to disable it, it should be disabled by default - and if you want it - you can enable it.

O_o I can't believe how many people are so badly bothered by this. I guess the browsing habits are very different from mine--I never even noticed this feature until I just now went looking for it. I don't normally stay on links long enough for it to pop up...

    • I do like Edifier products. You have to be careful with their model numbers if you care about specific I/O, like optical in. They often have multiple products with nearly identical part numbers, so close the Amazon will sometimes suggest the wrong one even if you copy/paste the exact model from their site. Things like optical typically are the difference between one and the other.
    • I forgot to mention that if you have 15+ hours remaining at the end of the month, 15 hours rolls over to the next month.
    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
