Hovering message (for want of a better phrase)

Mine has stopped working in Edge, but only in the last 5 days.

Same with me, it was fine until about a week ago. Might be an update?

It's just stopped working for me; Win 8, IE11.

Hi. Yes it is a touch screen, and no, I don't get any pop ups when hovering over name etc

Check to see if it is in tablet mode and if so turn it off and see if the thread preview returns:

• Start >
  
• Settings >
  
• Tablet mode
• Click the option slider to turn off
• Try CC to see if the hover feature now works?

Cheers,
Shaun

Just checked Shaun, already turned off.

It's just started not happening on my laptop - Windows 7 and Firefox 41.0.1.
But it still works on Chrome 45.0.2454.101 m.

Odd. Could you both please check you have the latest java installed and if not, update it:

Thanks,
Shaun

Have spent the last 18 months using Firefox for CC as the hover preview worked fine. Came down this morning to find my laptop has updated overnight and now I just get the box saying go to first unread message, no preview of the first post. Same as in Edge now. I used to find that really useful.

Try clearing your browser cache - that often sorts little niggles out like this.

I've the same problem and clearing the cache hasn't fixed it Shame as it was a useful.

 

[Shaun]

I've just updated CC and refreshed the CDN cache - so would you both please clear your browser caches again and let me know if the hover is working afterwards?

Thanks,
Shaun

Tried that Shaun, no joy I'm afraid

 

[annedonnelly]

I'm afraid not Shaun, but thanks for trying.

It's only a minor irritation so don't worry about it.
