Allow option to turn off forum rollover pop-ups...

Status: Not Likely
by on ‎12-30-2010 05:59 AM

I would like to have the option to disable the pop-ups on the forum web pages.  This is mostly and especially true for the page headers.  See the attached screen grab for an example.

 

I'm already a customer.  Let me click on a click if I want to get more information from it.  Those pop-ups are a constant annoyance when participating in the forums.

 

I could also stand to do without the twitter feed.  I don't twitter.  I don't ever read the twitter feed, and it causes the already pretty bloated forum pages to take longer to load, even with a fast optimized FiOS connection.

 

I find the Forums and Blogs informative.  User options to disable features like the rollover pop-ups and twitter feed would make participating in the forums a more enjoyable experience for me.  If other disagree, 'tis why I suggest a user option.

 

Thanks for listening.

I very much agree with this topic, the pop-ups from the bar at the top of the page are extremely annoying. However, other pop-ups on the pages, like the ones when you mouse over a topic in a thread, are very useful and I would hate to see those disappear.

 

Re: the comment about the Twitter feed. If you are logging into the forums, as opposed to just visiting without logging in, you can easily eliminate the Twitter junk, it is a setting in the Social Connect tab under My Settings.

 

One last thing; when I visit the forums, before I log in, generally the top bar displayed is as shown in the attachment posted by the OP. After I log in, sometimes the bar stays the same, with the very large and undesirable pop-ups. Howver, sometimes the bar changes as shown here:

When that hapens, the pop-ups are much smaller and less objectionable. But I wonder - why the two different headings?

Thanks for the tip on disabling the twitter feed Justin.  I looked and never found it.

 

The forum pages definitely load more quickly now.
