Wow do you not read a couple posts before or do you go by life like that?

Nope, I haven't read anything here and please if you don't want to say how, don't answer to people's post next time. :)

I believe im entitled as much as you did. Why should I repeat an answer thats found in two or more pages..

Don't bother to post then. Leave someone else that have the knowledge and will to answer what other people have asked.

yeah, but what your not realizing is your question has been answered SEVERAL times, go back a page or 2 you'll find it pretty much right away

no offense but you're just finding a really bad excuse to be lazy

Instead of this comment of yours that shows how respectless you are you could have said your question has been answered go back and take a look, but no you just wanted to be smart and say what you said that is why I start to be a jerk towards you. And again I say if you do not want to help people and do not have the will don't bother to answer to people's post.

@brandon212

He could have said that from the bigining that I can find my answer 2/3 pages back. I am not lazy I just wanted to argue with him because his answer was not a proper answer. Think of that someone answers you when you're asking someone, wouldn't that **** you off? But no worries now, I already found my answer and do not need an answer from people like him.

Not sure why we have to go to these lengths to disable this. Be nice if there was an option to turn it off.

I agree 100%, there should be a simple option to disable this feature -- your forcing your users to install AD blocking software because you enable what many feel is a stupid feature.. Someone clearly did not think this through before enabling such a feature.

Its does not take a rocket scientist or someone with a degree in human behavior to understand that **** popping up on a website if my mouse happens to linger too long on a spot is going to annoy the F out of decent portion of your userbase ;)

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.

I agree, it is very annoying.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      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.
