Actually, I doubt it is a "vbhack" on Whois-Search's website (as it is here). This website currently uses vBulletin 2.3.2. Whois-Search's website uses vBulletin 3.0. I stopped by and checked it out, and I have to say, I prefer the way it is implemented there. It is *just* the message contents... nothing else.


< what he said is right thanks Nexus

I'm still getting Java Run Time errors on Dnforum

In dnForum's vbhack, it appears *instantly* as your mouse moves over any link on the listing page.

Think about it this way. You're looking at the list of new threads, and you go to click on the 6th link down. If you're a normal person, you don't come in from the LEFT, and hover over JUST the 6th link before clicking, you come in from the TOP of the screen and possibly pass 5-6 other links on your way down. You get 6 flashing boxes before you get to the link you would have clicked, preview or not. Maybe you change your mind and decide to go up two links... more flashing. If you don't like the feature, you're kind of out of luck.

If it popped up after a timeout of .25/.5 seconds, I'd agree with you that you could "just not hover". As it stands, it pops up instantly, so that any link you go to click on, you get a blinkly little pop-up. It's a basic user interface thing. There is a javascript function called "setTimeout" that could adjust the "instant" nature of the feature very easy. You just put the feature inside of it and tell it how many milliseconds to wait before excuting it. Like this: setTimeout('menuPop()',600)
Making sure you escape all your quotes, etc...

As an update... I mentioned earlier that I preferred the way its implemented in vb3.0, and I've realized why. It's not implemented at all. They haven't created the feature, they're just using the same built-in capability of IE. If you use a "TITLE" attribute in the HREF tag, hovering over that link will cause that title to appear in a box... after about 1/2 of a second.

Food for thought anyway.

Apparently the "break" in the line is translating into the link and causing the script to break. For those suppressing "errors", you will notice that this is the only link that doesn't hover. If you determine why this particular topic preview is having a carriage return not translate to a "BR" tag, this will presumeably fix the problem.

Regarding your witty remark Mr.WebNames, I guess that means that this officially sounds like "whining" as opposed to valuable feedback. Sounds like you're making fun of members. I keep forgetting how this all works.

G'night.

Don't know how you arrive at that view Nexus - I just don't see it, probably due to my Norton Security 2004, which saves me from a great deal of unwanted extras.
Just because we have disagreed over one matter does not mean that I make fun of members in my posts.

Only talking about your last post. If you can't see the popup box, you may want to ask which page its on, or read my posts about how "error suppression" will make it so you may not see it. Otherwise, with a smiley, it seems clear you're making a joke of it at the expense of people who are taking the time to carefully detail the concerns and nature of the problem. Maybe not mean spirited, but it really doesn't help... or seem in any way like a "polite" way of handling concerns.

I wish I knew what you were trying to do that you're giving up. If you were being playful, you could just say so and not make it a federal case. I'm trying to help route out an *error* on this website, and I've no idea whether what I'm saying is being understood by the people I'm trying to talk to (this being the Suggestions & Feedback thread). The first mod response since the detailed posts I gave is to plead ignorance to the entire matter and smile. You don't have to make it sound like I'm being impossible, you're just be sarcastic (not a crime)... but... it would have helped to follow the "joke" with some type of comment on the "error" and if anything is being done.

I don't know what I can do to make this post sound less prosecutorial. The purpose of this thread (started by Andrew) was to alert people to a problem (the js error) and give an opinion on the new feature (that caused the error), so I'm not sure more random kidding around does much for progress (by themsevles anyway).

Best,

With everything being worked on in realtime, I'm sure its not gone for good. It's possibly being debugged or tweaked, which would be nice. Aside from reporting blatant bugs that impede the forum, I think considering everything is just "in development" is the best way to go here. I just saw that "signature image" feature with a broken image in my control panel. I'm guessing its "in development". It'll be interesting to see what's happening with that. A new rewards store item might be nice...:cheeky:

Well, I hope it comes back soon - I think it was great!
