pop up windows

[Caster]

You know the little windows that pop up when your mouse cursor touches something? When you touch a forum topic in particular, it will let you read the first few lines of the post???

How the heck do I get rid of that? I hate it, it's getting on my nerves. If I wanted to read it I'd click on the stinkin' thing.

Thanks:hat:

From what little I know of it, this is controlled by the site and not the user. So TGO David would have to increase the delay or set an option for you to disable them (???). The delay could be increased by 1 second to make a more friendly approach.

You personally can turn of the appropriate settings in your browser (probably javascript) but it may break other things including the entire forum (not sure) and other web pages. Its just part of the web and not something with an individual control that I know of (if its there, its well hidden).

There may be third party mouse software or add ons that can do the trick, I am not aware of such but logic says someone out there has one.

I like the feature. Gives a good summary of what a topic might be about without having to click on it, go to it, then having to go back.

If you don't like it, don't scroll your mouse over it, use the scroll button on the right side of your screen to scroll down. Easy as pie!

No that's not the problem. I can scroll with the wheel on my trackball. When I move to click on a topic with multiple pages, the window covers the numbers so you have to circle around it and sneak up on it!

I'll get over it, I just thought there might be a setting I missed.

Thanks guys.

I see what your problem is now.

If you leave the mouse pointer over the topic for about 2-3 seconds longer, the pop up screen will disappear on its own. At least it does for me.

You really expect me to wait that long?

It can help save on server load and Internet traffic by allowing you to get summary rather than downloading another page. I prefer forums that use this.
