HelP pop up window go away ..

[Milky]

Can anyone please tell me how do I make the
pop up window go away. I mean when im scrolling
down the page and i land on a thread it automatically
does a window pop up and its annoying the poonany out of me.
It does this on everypage when i put the cursor on
something it automatically does this pop up window
and I dont want it to because its somewhat distracting
and takes away my focus on the threads how do I turn
this option off PLeASe HElP.. Its like when i put my cursor
in the thread it instantly does a window pop up and shows
like the first paragraph of the thread anywhere i put my
cursor i get these pop up thingies all the time help how do
i turn them off i hope there is a way

i find it annoying also but i see the benefit too. it's a preview of the thread so you don't have to click on it to see what it's about. it's most likely something that cannot be 'turned off' though. i use a different software for my board and it's a modification that must be installed. i'm assuming it's either the same here or it's 'hard coded' in the newer version.



I just keep my cursor over to the right on the scroll bar to prevent it. :)

there is an option to go back to the display of the older version of the forum. the pop up things was something added when the newer version was installed. so if you don't like the new version(popups included) click on the link to revert your display to the other version.

Awe shoot that only makes the display like the old version but the workings are the same... er um sorry thought that would work for ya.

Or just go to http://www.google.com and install thier google toolbar. This comes with a popup blocker, blocking 99% of the popups from any site. Mine says 2669 blocks already! :dance

It's been a savior hehe
;)


poo nevermind now i see what you mean..... i guess the google thing doesnt help that.

its not so bad! just gotta be quick with your cursoring ;)

I really hope they don't get rid of that function. It is by far my favorite new feature of the upgrade! It saves so much time and I love it:)

'Course, for me, I have to hold it there for at least a second or so to have a pop up...and to avoid it all you need to do is avoid the subject line.

are you referring to alt text?

[OrionGirl]

Yes, that's what's being discussed. Not pop-up windows, which are separate browser windows. Alt text is just written into the link by the system, and is harmless.
