I'd love the option, as I hate accidentally hovering over it in the forums and having to constantly refresh the page. Please make this optional for (at least) next year!

yes, I'd love to be able to turn off this feature. while I prefer it to the tree being behind the HA, having it happen every time I just happen to move my mouse over someone's HA is rather annoying.
The most annoying part about the whole tree thing is that space makes the page jump all around whenever it's cleared the HA and replaced that space with the tree.
If it just left a huge gaping white space it wouldn't annoy me so much I don't think because I never really look at HAs that intently anyways, but I know a low of users do so for that reason I definitely support either a disable or I like the hoveron/hoveroff idea c: Right now though, it's really annoying and makes me want to disable HAs entirely just to see if it makes trees calm their tits.
i didn't make an option to turn it off, but i did change them and i believe all of the concerns from the op should be resolved :)
Ohh the tree/ha swapping is way smoother now. Thank you

Thank you for making it roll back to the HA when you mouse away ❤️
it was actually supposed to do that in the first place, but the code for it was (obviously, considering it didn't work) a little bit off!
All HA images (and trees for that matter) have suddenly disappeared. On all forums :o
that's really weird tehy're still showing fine for me?
I took off my CustomCSS and tried a hard refresh and restarting FF, still no HAs :c
Yeah, whatever you did, didn't work in Firefox. All the HAs and Trees in the forums disappeared as soon as you pushed that fix. It works in Internet Explorer though.
It was fine until I rolled over your HA and saw the change, as soon as I posted it disappeared. Also using Firefox over here and the only CustomCSS I have make the floating items stick to the top left corner so I don't miss them.
[edit] And now its back and working right all of a sudden haha. Maybe the cache needed a few minutes.
what the hell firefox why would you do that
should be fixed, though! thanks :)
It is - thanks for fixing that ❤️
Wonderful fix! So much better now! Thanks :D
This is so much better now! Thank you
This is so much better, thank you so much!
