why cant the site wait til i click / hover on something, rather than obscure the page when i move mouse over a link..?

actually, just thinking this is a google/chrome thing.. anyone else?

  • If it's what I think you mean, it's a Chrome thing - although I do like it when it converts measurements etc automatically!

    Not sure if this is connected or if my lappy's being particularly neurotic. Just recently when I click on a post it's text appears over the thread before it slowly fades away. Any thougts, anyone?
    ETA - just wondering if it's a connection speed problem

    preview occurs with all browsers i think (i use ie, opera, ff and chrome ). i think there might be a FF add-on to deal with this however.

    You had to bring politics into it..... :D


    It's a pain.

    Other websites which are a pain for this include Royal Mail and DSG websites....go anywhere near the 'tabs' and crap covers the part of the page you actually wanted to click on...

    I use opera and the preview occurs only when I hover right on the title. I did try chrome once (as it came pre-installed on my lappy) and the previews were coming up all over the place.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
