I find the mouse hover preview popups quite annoying. They cover up way too much data in adjacent lines. There should be a client option to turn it off. Could someone look into this, please?

When you are in a forum such as rom development and you hover over a thread title, a preview of the thread pops up.
I think that is what he means.

Yep, Denco7, that's what I was talking about. I spent a few hours with Google looking for a way to disable it but it turns out to be a server side thing in the HTML.

Wow, that is large! Glad I've never run into that large popup...
Funny never really noticed them as have to hover over rather than scroll over to see, think the best way to get around it is just to scroll in the blank between subject & rating if they are frequent.

Yeah, I know where the safe zones are but I like to use the cursor as a place holder while I read. There is a way in the site HTML that allows the client the option to turn those obnoxious pop-ups off and I would like the webmaster to look into it. But really, who in the heck needs them in the first place?
They look like nothing more than the ALT text on the HTML links displaying the first few characters of a post. The problem looks to be the use a line breaks that cause them to run over a few lines. If you use these in somewhere like the Q&A forum it's quote handy to get an idea of a post before you click on it.
I use it all the time to try and decide if I can help before I go clicking to go in and then going back out.

1st of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here! Seriously, i am sorry for that but i just had to get this idea out for all the awesome Developers out there
Ok, so everyone right now is problaby using the standard lock screen or Sterricsons Lock screen.
They're both almost alike just a different look (oh and the new features you get with S. Lock screen like the music and battery life) so how about making one thats more....active i guess you can say...
Is it possible to make one somewhat like the iPhone (sorry for saying that ) but instead of sliding the little bar sideways, how about sliding it up.
For example: Looking at the picture below is a Hero Lock screen, how about having it look like that and then sliding it up to bring up the home screen? i think that would be awesome!
Anyone agree?
Any ideas?
Is this even possible?
So yeah, just an idea, thank you for reading and sorry if posted this in the wrong section!!

you need to try the pulse rom then, it has a lockscreen you unlock by flicking up on the screen, its pretty sweet, but in the end, a lockscreen is to keep your phone from doing too much on its own without your interaction, don't get me wrong i LOVE and thoroughly embrace stericson's lockscreen, i can barely use a rom that doesn't have it.
search the market for lock 2.0 - theres your iphone imitating lock screen..
HOWEVER i would love to see some savvy hacker make us/port us the hero lock screen to CM builds........ prob gna be difficult with it being tightly linked with sense ui... howver do it... and it big donations from me
I want the Pulse lock screen...that sh*t is sexy.

Hello there!
I have a small suggestion to help minimize duplicate threads.
This is especially prevalent in the HD2 forum where every day people make new threads about Android on HD2 (which, I am guilty of doing too...my apologies )
So, on some other vBulletin boards in which I am a member, they have a great feature.
When someone is creating a new thread and puts in the thread title, the board displays previous threads that have similar titles. I really think it is necessary to have that functionality in here too.
Just my 2c
Thanks for reading!
It's one I have suggested a few times before, but I am not sure what vB mod it is.
Any ideas?
Is this it?

Thanks, I'll stick on the admin's list and see what he says

So I looked into this and turned on a plugin that shows related threads at the bottom of each thread page. Two problems with it: 1. It's not that useful 2. It affects sever performance.
If anyone knows of a plugin that will search as you type a new thread title in, that would be great.
Don't know about the real time search (I am not an admin so I don't know the first thing about vBulliten) but here is the screen shot of an example of what I was talking about from the avsforum board in the first post and the relevant plug in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here is the page for the plug in:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151714
I understand that this plug in is heavy on the server. As such, is it possible to turn it on just for some high activity sub forums?

looks very useful and no0bies who sometimes don't search can see simlar threads as they;re typing it!
I guess my html code issues were only the tip of the iceberg. XDA made some changes sometime within the past weekend that has made the Thanks button invisible to me. If I switch to IE Tab I can see it, but in my native Firefox, it is gone. I've cleared the cache, browsing history, everything, and I can't get it back. Any help would be appreciated, I can't stand Internet Exploder
Same here. I don't have the thanks button.
Firefox 3.5.16
Did this just happen to you this weekend, hav0c? I am on Firefox 3.6.13.
I'm on FF 3.6.13 and I can see the Thanks button

That's good to know - so it's got to be something going on with our own installations. I see when I switch to IE Tab that there are many ads I'm not seeing on FF (there's a reason for that - I don't do ads, I contribute) I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I use AdBlock Plus.
ETA Ha! It is there, it just isn't visible until you hover over where it should be! Veerry interesting......but stoopid (only old folks like me will recognize that quote )
For the record, the Thanks button has magically reappeared. Nothing was done on my end to make it so.
i can't see it but pointer changes to hand from arrow when i hover in the right place... had to look this thread up to find the right place!
google chrome v 9.0.597.102
mac os 10.6.6 snow leopard build 10j567
a mystery to me... although I feel a little better to see I'm not the only one - was terrified for a moment there that I was losing my mind!

No, you haven't lost your mind, and it will magically reappear at some point - no one here will explain why, though. It seems to have something to do with server load, from what I can tell.
iam on firefox 4 with windows 7 and i cant see "thanks" button either.............any progress in solution for this?
on my iPad i can see thanks button so i think it is firefox related problem ???
If you can see this image then you should see the button...

If neither of them show you the thanks button then there's something strange going on.
I've noticed in the last few days that the envelope with arrow icon doesn't show anymore in Classic view. BTW the icon and meaning are missing from the legend at the bottom of page...
Interestingly I use the classic view because the Xda 2010 view had this behavior from its infancy, after I reported I was told the problem was solved but it worked only after viewing the thread and refreshing the page. I just tried this now but to no avail.
Can someone help me solve or understand this issue?
Thanks
This is the view I get now for threads I've posted in (in the 2010 skin), I don't know about the classic skin. That little text note icon means I've posted in the thread:

I subscribe, with no e-mail, to any thread I post in, that way they'll show up in my User Control Panel, I can just click to the UCP and read any updates. It's the easiest way I've found to keep good track.
Thanks for the tip reinbeau, I'll use it if managers and mods don't or can't solve this more elegantly, i.e. like it used to be (unless this is happening only on my computer)
It's not just you. I use Classic view too and have had this problem for the last few days. Hope to see a fix soon.
Informed the admin. Could be due to server issues we are facing.
Thank you for a prompt response

You can see this icon only if you already are in XDA 2010 view, but if you are in XDA Classic view there's only 5 icons and the 6th is missing
I was wondering what the heck happened to that icon! Any resolution...?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was missing it. That little arrow was very useful.

Sorry guys, this slipped out of our mind perhaps. Flagged the admin again.
Does anyone know what the area below the search bar is called (the area where the link is displaying)? I'm trying to figure out which flag in the chrome://flags option to disable. I've already turned off recent bookmarks visited and recent downloads. I want all the clutter off the page. Google is crowding this page with tons of junk now. They need options in the regular settings to turn these off instead of going through the flags settings.

Well, if you mean "they need to put it in the regular settings instead of flags" then no, its not... because Google will never do that, but I used this guide and my "new" pages are 100% COMPLETELY blank- just the way I like it. Not sure what else you were looking for?
