Ok, something changed and I don't know why about this board. Details inside please.

[TheGLOV]

1. I used to be able to hover over the title of a thread and information would pop up about the thread. Maybe the entire thread itself or the 1st sentence or two. Now, it no longer does this. I have to click directly on the thread to see/read its beginning content. Never had to do this before.

2. The 'Flag' that alerts (you) that somebody commented or 'like' or 'quoted' your post is different in design. It has a 'ripple' or 'furl' to it. It never did before and, to that end, (you) also used to be able to hover your mouse over it and it would "drop-down" without clicking on it to reveal 'liked' or 'comments-on' your post. If you had lets say (6) comments or likes, you could basically view them as the all appeared (again without clicking on it) This is no longer the case.

What changed?

Can it be corrected?

I liked it better the other way.

Do respond.

Thank you!

I'll tell you another thing that's changed GLOV. Until recently, when you posted, I saw the Pittsburgh insignia. Now, when you post, I see this:

Another thing that has changed is the search function, which has been drastically narrowed to maybe the past 2 or 3 weeks of posts.

The hover feature works as you described for me. What browser are you using? Maybe try another browser?

Try again in private / incognito and see if it still works as you expect? If so, go back and clear cache and cookies in the non-incognito instance.

How do I do this sir??

Yes, that too! That is actually #3 that I failed to mention. I used to be able to type something and 'wham' it found it no problem. Now, it can't find it most times. Weird!

"edge"

Glov - I also use MS Edge as my browser because of its built-in security features. My browser also is behaving as you describe - most likely it's Microsoft's overly aggressive security. They had a fairly recent update. The biggest complaint I have about Edge is sometimes when filling out forms such as used for online shopping, there are compatibility issues with the website's coding which prevents the form from processing. I suppose one could view it as a money-saving feature... but sometimes I actually really NEED to purchase a certain tool or gadget. Try using another browser and see if that helps.

Can we somehow still stay with Edge but tame the beast of Microsoft security??

I want to stay with Edge and do not want to switch to Google Chrome at all.

Probably can subdue the beat somewhat, but I have not delved into the matter yet... always have other fires to put out. I'll try to take a look-see tomorrow - not in the mood presently, too bleary-eyed tired. Sorry.

That's fine sir.

I thank you!

Get your rest.

I'm having the same issues using Chrome (I tried Firefox and Brave also) This topic came up on the board about a month ago and one of the administrators said there was an update the night before. I noticed that the search function will take you back only to Nov 15, the same day these issues started. I have a feeling that those features/capabilities are gone forever.

Does thread view still work for you?

1. I still get the post preview when hovering over the thread title
2. Please bring back thread/hybrid view. I liked it better that way

Didn't know there was a hover feature until this post. However, with my Firefox browser and Windows 7, it works for me. Really nice feature. Sorry not working for you.

Thread view? You mean when you hover over one and you can see the first few sentences and stuff? No.

I sure don't get #1 that's for sure.

Okay Glov - Just had a chance to fiddle around with Edge's settings but it does not look promising. I went into the security section and turned off the feature they label "Windows Defender SmartScreen" that's suppose to protect users from malicious sites but I don't notice any difference. I cannot determine any other possible work around... except for migrating back to Windows 7 apparently.

I was the one that asked this a few weeks ago and Tom had said there was a recent Rivals software update which was the likely culprit. I really miss the hover feature, I find myself clicking on far more topics now only to find that many are something I didn't want to read. I've used Chrome as a browser for a long time, the hover was working before and hasn't been working for about a month or so.

Nope.
