Topic Preview hover added to forums


Recommended Posts

Read through the thread again, BudMan already provided people with the way to turn it off if they don't like it.

I read "work around". No need to read through the thread AGAIN, but thanks. My question still stands.

Well in that case the answer is "no." It can't be disabled via an option at the moment. But if you don't like it, you're not going to have any plans to reactivate in the future so you may as well block the .js that BudMan pointed out and forget all about it. :)

Sometimes you find pretty good threads you wouldn't click on if the title were well descriptive... :)

This is true at times :) But I still think I'd rather know. People need to work on their topic titles :angry:

Putting it in the Mini Spy will fail, because as you are loading a topic preview, another topic comes into the Spy and bam.. it's disappears, or the link isn't there anymore :p

Gotcha, but we could still get it for "latest community activity" on the front page? But I do agree with BudMan, it should be a user selectable feature.

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.

Thanks, I may or may not block it. I'll see how I get on with it for a while.

How do you turn it off???

Most annoying thing ever!! If I want to read the post I will click into the post/thread -- I don't need **** like that popping up when My mouse lingers for too long..

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Thanks Budman, worked like a charm. I was also getting annoyed. I was hovering my mouse over threads and this box kept popping up. I knew it was a new feature. But every time it popped up it wasn't because I wanted it to, it's because my mouse stayed on a thread title alitlte bit too long. Each time I was like #I))(@(!!!##$

Block this "https://www.neowin.net/forum/public/js/ips.hovercard.js" with your ad blocker of choice.

Thanks buddy! :)

Working a treat...

    • It depends on how technical of an answer you want. Does it stop manufacture drivers? Yes, the universal driver is the only thing that interfaces with the printer hardware. However, print support apps (PSAs) are the new way to provide that functionality you speak of, and they integrate directly into the print dialog box, so the user doesn't see any difference at all. This is nothing new...this has been the preferred way to do print drivers for almost 8 years! The only thing changing here is that the older printer model drivers of the past are being deprecated. I highly suspect that you yourself have installed a print support app described as a driver package from the manufacture's support page, had it work exactly as expected, without realizing it was using the universal IPP driver under the covers. For example, USB keyboards have all used the generic HID driver for just about as long as they have existed, but that doesn't stop manufacture "drivers" from enabling more features.

    • Wow..... 1.8GB of RAM usage. That's just a bit more than MS Teams or VS Code uses.
    • its slower than ever. especially on mobile ios. really poor app. Slack is a million times better. shame the company i work for moved from Slack to teams few years back. was like moving from 2026 to windows ME.
    • Manufacturers will be able to ship printer-specific functions through their support apps (their companion software, in other words). But no, drivers won't be needed from them anymore, only the universal one included with Windows. Think about this as printers all agreeing to a stardandized API for common functions, all talking the same language and supporting the most common functionality via that API, so only a single driver is needed to talk to them. Any additional functionality not handled by that driver will be provided by the companion software for the printer.
