Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
AtariAge Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I recently upgraded my forum from 3.0.x to 3.1.4. I installed Matt's Topic Preview hook that displays a topic preview popup when you hover over topic titles in a forum. I personally like it, but many of my users are complaining that it's rather intrusive and that it often pops up for them when they simply want to click on a title to open the thread. I know this Topic Preview will be more pervasive in 3.2. Can you please add a User Control Panel option so members can individually disable this feature? I assume in 3.2 this will no longer be a hook, but will be integrated directly into the software. Thanks for your consideration, ..Al
Taylor J Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Well as of right now if they don't like it, disable it, as it is a hook and not apart of the core IP product.
Tanax Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I must say that I'm one of those users. It's extremely annoying. It always pops up when I want to click a topic.
Rikki Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Topic preview in 3.2 is... different :) Hopefully it'll remove the frustration your users are having with it.

Management Matt Posted April 15, 2011 Management Posted April 15, 2011 I dislike the hover pop-up also. It fires quite often but I never read the content.

AtariAge Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 I use it all the time. :o I personally don't use it as my primary means of viewing threads is via View New Content, Today's Active Content, and My Content. Probably will use it once 3.2 rolls around. ..Al
Management Matt Posted April 15, 2011 Management Posted April 15, 2011 The hover idea is one of those ideas that makes sense when you say it but in use it just gets in the way. When I'm browsing other forum software that has this implemented, I'm constantly having to move my mouse as I scroll down or move to a non triggered area of the page. It's a constant annoyance. Even on these forums, I roll over the title, the pop-up appears and starts to load and I cancel it by clicking the topic title. It just gets in the way when you are using the board IMO. I would wait to see what we've got for 3.2. I really love it.
