When my cursor touchs a thread topic suddenly text pops up covering it like so:


It happens in both Internet Explorer and Apple's Safari browser. It's a real PITA.

I appreciate the improved abilities and security of this software upgrade but sometimes it seems like buggy betaware. Maybe it's my imagination but it also seems like there's a lot fewer posts since the upgrade occured...

Me too. Firefox, WinXP. Very annoying. But only in Active Topics list.

I'm running Safari, and I don't seem to be having that problem, but I have seen it in other forums where there's a rollover that shows a preview of the first post in a thread. Is that what it's doing?

No problem for me....but as far as posts I agree a little thin lately. I know I am still experimenting. I dislike not knowing who has responded to a post without opening it.

Example. Blast you are always fun to read so alot of times I would read a post first that you have commented on. Among a few other people as well.

Anyhoo my 2 cents

aargh.........!!!!

I was tempted to answer "not yet" as a joke !

But reading the other answers to your post, Blast, I thought I had not yet used the "Active Topics" button.
So I tried it and ... bingo !
I DO have the same problem (IE6, W2000 pro) ...
