Preview Pop Up

milkman · Jul 3, 2007

When I put my cursor over the title of a thread, or a user name, or any underlined topic, there is an annoying, to me, pop up with a short preview, or description of the content. Is this a feature of this site and if so is there a way for the individual user to turn it off, or do I have to find a way to turn it off on my individual OS. Thanks.

Thats a feature so you won't have to click on whole thread to read what it's about, just don't hover your cursor over title and it won't show up
I like it myself

I suppose noone has an answer.

The pop up short review is annoying to me also. I visit several forum that have this feature enabled.

I like that feature myself, even though 99% of the time I just ignore it.

Maybe I made my question too broad.

Can I turn off the annoying post preview here or in my operating system.

Not sure if an Admin can turn if off but members can not.

Funny, I read another forum that has this option turned off. I was thinking about starting a thread there to see if we could get it turned on.

It saves me a lot of time -- particularly when the headline is vague.

I just went through all the options in the user control panel and didn't see one for the preview pop-up.

No, you can not.

In this thread alone, 3 like it, 2 do not. Seems a simple solution for those that don't like it to simply not hover their mouse where these previews appear.
