Noooooooo! I hated this feature! Argh!
Not working for me.
It may be theme-dependent. It works for me with the Straight Dope Light theme (on Firefox); haven’t tried it with other themes. I think this feature was just added very recently, like today.
it works for the vincent theme and the front page now looks like about as close to the old board as they can get
Agree. This was about the only thing I was really missing from the old Dope, so THANK YOU to the PTB!!!
Firefox, Vincent here.
I’ve settled into the whole situation quite happily.
It does keep automatically removing my quotes, though. I’ll figure it out sooner or later. I hope.
Doesn’t seem to work with Discourse-classic on Chrome.
Aha. It does seem to be theme-dependent. It works for me on Vincent (but the background is too dark to tolerate) and Straight Dope Light (Chrome).
Works for me:
- Discourse-classic
- Chrome
- Windows 10
I have the same theme, browser, and OS. Wonder where the difference is?
So I tested all the themes and the only one that doesn’t have mouseover preview is Sam’s Simple.
Try a hard refresh or logging out and back in.
Works for me in Simple Sam on the main page but not within each forum.
Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you whoever was responsible.
This is what I’m using, so that explains it.
Tried it, didn’t help.
I’m on SD-Dark theme and I don’t see mouseovers. I tried three different themes, both Chrome and Firefox, and still see nothing. I think y’all are just messing with me.
Are you by any chance using a system with a touch screen? My conjecture is that is why I am not seeing them.
That could be it. I’m on a laptop with an external monitor, but the laptop screen is touch-enabled.
If this is the cause, it’s poor programming. To determine if mouseovers are enabled, they should be looking for the absence of a pointing device, not the existence of a touch screen.
It was working for me for a while but it’s now gone again…?
It works for me in both SD themes. Ordinary desktop, no touchscreen.
