Stop Mouseover Nuisance on Forums

  • Thread starter gnome
  • Start date
In summary, the recent change to vbulletin 3 on various forums has added annoying mouseover "preview windows" that can obstruct the list of thread titles. The user suggests the option to disable or limit the area for the mouseover feature. They also mention the improved overall look but question the supposed "terrible layout errors" in the previous format. Another user jokingly suggests that being a member of a physics community may contribute to the dislike for the feature.

The change to vbulletin 3 here and on various other forums has brought with it these very annoying mouseover "preview windows" -- or whatever they're called -- that constantly get in the way when I'm just trying to read the list of thread titles.

Any chance of shutting that off? Or at least make it more focused - like requiring the mouse to be directly over some limited area rather than anywhere near the titles? As it is, it's almost as bad as having ads pop up in the middle of the page.

Sorry to keep complaining, but ... :mad:

I must admit, though, that the overall look has gotten much better over the past 2 weeks (but I still don't know what the "terrible layout errors" were -- the old format looked fine to me).

Your talking about the tooltip right? Just don't have your cursor by the titles when your browsing right?

Maybe if you weren't a member of a physics community I'd believe that statement :wink:
