I am in a habit of right clicking a post by whom ever and opening in a new tab.now the popup that hovers over a post when moving the cursor prevents even clicking on the post little lone opening in a new tab

I agree.  Very annoying.

That's without a doubt a bug. It's nearly impossible to click a small thumbnail!

Guys, just in case it is a bug, and there's supposed to be another feature (I do not know this for sure, but just in case), can you post your OS and browser (with version number) for the programmers?  Thanks :)

Yes, on my IE/Vista the stupid pop up covers almost the whole thumbnail.  Just a little bit of a PITA. lol q-:

Windows 7, IE9, like CarolSassy said, a huge pop-up.

The way it was before was okay, why the change?

I've reported this to the techs.

 

 

Thank you

There is too much text for the "speech balloon" that pops up on the ones I tried and looks to be starting too far down it as well (FF 3.6.17) Also as you can see from the screenshot, the text for some images isn't going to fit without a rethink on the formatting.

For those having trouble right clicking, it seems that once the balloon appears, there is just room above and left to right click for the context menu, though I'd suggest that using middle click is an easier way to open a new tab (assuming browser and settings allow).

Finally, for God's sake put a delay on them popping up like you have for them disappearing (while your at it do this for the main menu bar as it's annoying to have the submenus drop down when moving the mouse around).

it's a feature, not a bug, in some cases.  my vote would be to eliminate everything but the filesize and ranking.  the keywords are the main problem when users are playing the system.  most of them just leave keywords blank anyway.

I wouldn't call it a feature, just an annoyance. It's a completely unneeded distraction which obscures the thumbnail we are trying to see and makes middle-clicking on it to open the image in a new tab a real pain.

 

Either (prefereably) remove this 'feature', give a long delay before it appears, or allow it to be clicked-through so the middle-click still works without having to maneuver onto the very edge of the thumbnail.

It wasn't so bad before when you had to hold the cursor on the thumbnail a few seconds before it appeared, and it wasn't so big.

I see they've changed the pop-up back to just a square with text (instead of the comic-balloon-like pop-up), but it's still blocking the thumbnail immediately as I go over it. The ones with a lying (going on panoramic) lay-out cannot be looked at.


max- ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 2:01 AM

OH MY GOD what a mess! What happened here? I can't even click on any of the image links as they are immediately obscured by popups!  It worked fine years ago.

it is better this morning.thanks for fixing it


mountmous ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 10:08 AM

Better, yes, but there are still images I can't reach. Like I said: the "panoramic" images are completely blocked.


Richardphotos ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 10:26 AM

seems to depend if a full size thumb is used or not.I am still having problems with small thumbs


kbrog ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 12:08 PM

Vista & IE9

Yeah It's still happening today, I think this instant pop-up in the gallery is really annoying and it's going to be a problem for anybody that post a pano and lets the system generate the thumb-nail. It covers it up and makes it really hard to click on the thumb to goto the picture.

 

Whats up with this? Put the delay back. ;)


nruddock ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 12:16 PM

They've gone altogether for me, so either they turned them off, or they broke badly (I suspect the former as I'm not seeing the tooltip data in the page source anymore).

Looking forward to having the pop-ups disappear after a few seconds again, like it was up until a couple days ago.  :)

If you go into your MY GALLERY OPTIONS page you can turn on or off the pop up image detail tool tip.

 

They are working for me just fine now in both IE and Chrome. The only thing I see is the ones that are long due to the keywords and I'll be checking on that.


thefixer ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 3:55 PM

I just tried to look at an image, I can't click the thumb because of the overlay from the pop up, it wasn't like this a few days ago..

What browser Gwyn and did you do an F5 (hard refresh) to see if that helps?


thefixer ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 4:15 PM

IE9 and No, so I'll try that..

Can you screenshot what you are seeing? You can post it here or email me (stacey@renderosity.com)


thefixer ( ) posted Thu, 12 May 2011 at 4:49 PM

Float my cursor over a thumb, the popup comes up and totally obscures the thumb making it impossible to click on the thumb to see the image. This of course depends on the thumb size, most are bigger than the popup so it's not an issue except for those thumbs that are smaller.

Quote - Yeah, I believe if it ain't broke, don't fix it. lol q-:

 

...words that I've often lived by as a professional computer guy!

 

The pop-up is now popping up to the right of the thumbnail, blocking the one next to it and preventing that one being clicked on without deliberately moving the cursor off first.

 

It's still instant, and still very annoying.

 

XP SP3, Firefox (latest update) if it really matters... :sigh:

I can live with "off to the side."  At least I can open all the images I want to see, now!  Thanks!

Hi,

seems better now, not hiding thumbs any longer.

I really do appreciate those image pop-ups and would suggest to consider:

  • A delay of 1 to 2 seconds, before they appear. It currently is confusing/annoying, when moving the mouse quickly across a gallery page, touching multiple thumbs with according many "instant pop-ups".
  • To keep them small in size: Remove the line "uploaded ...... ago", because there already is a timestamp under the thumb. And to suppress all keywords therein.

Hubert

Forgot to mention earlier: Win7 with IE8

Much better now that the pop-up is alongside the image you want to see.
