Have these changed (like the hover-over on for instance) or am I going crazy? They take longer to load and the only discernible difference I can see is that the word "information" now appears and there's a large... border. But it does take quite some time if you haven't hovered over the item before. D: What do y'all think?

This seems like a rather pointless change. The big gray border is really rather ugly and distracting :(

Edit: And it's taking forever to load, even though I've already rolled over the token several times.

It's the same if you look at HA by hovering over username! They are huge now!

I'm not happy with the fact that the loading bar appears even if you barely touch the item. I liked it better that it took a couple of seconds for the hover over to come up. Makes it so if you don't have to have something load up every time you're just doing normal things.

I also hate that this occurs with hovering over usernames. And why are the boxes for users so huge now?!

when the downtime was going on, there was a message saying the change is better for the server (or something to that effect). it also had those price graphs for a moment in between downtimes. they mentioned taking something off, im guessing it was that.

[edit]god, that probably made no sense D:

I don't really like them :| There wasn't anything bad about the old ones IMO.... [edit] Oh well...I guess if it helps the server, and it gives us less squirrels, it's okay...But! Just make them a little bit smaller? :)

I had a strange feeling that these types of boxes were easier on the servers (it makes sense, in a way, too). But if they could be a teensy bit smaller, that'd be awesome. Wizard questing is going to take longer now. :( Oh well. I'll live.

I think it has something to do with Firefox.Because mine got reset when I turned on my computer, and it re-uploaded my apps, now this is happening.But, the boxes are huge now!

[edit] Woah, and they always seem to be going up, now, too.I don't like it :(

Yeah I am not a fan, but it was JUST implemented I am sure there will be changes. This also might be used for hovering in the inventory or showing different info or links? Maybe we will be able to click directly to a shop search from the info thing.

This is definitely brand new - I didn't notice it a few hours ago when I was online and browsing.

Honestly, I'm not liking it at all. The old info boxes loaded much quicker, no silly bar, and weren't as huge. I could see if it was adding some new features, like more links or something, but right now it just seems pointless.

The item part annoys me, but I can easily get use to it. The username one I actually like a lot x3

Ugh, I hate that it tries to load if your mouse even runs across it. Trying to send flowers? You'll get information on every single flower. So annoying. And the box around it is way too thick -- distracting, really.

When hovering over a user's name, posts are 0, status is blank, achievements are 0, and medals is blank. I don't believe this used to be the case.

I personally don't really like it. The infoboxes do take a while to load compared to the hover-overs we had previously, and the grey border is distracting. It's also a little weird seeing the word ''information'' at the end; it's unnecessary. :|

I'm wondering, is this some sort of side-effect of the new version of MySQL they just switched to, or can this be changed back? :|

It was actually changed for a few reasons (And I'll make the box slower, and work on making them show up a little faster ;))

  1. Now they load with AJAX. How it worked before, was that on every page (this one for example) it loaded all the item, and user information, and put it into the page. When you hovered over a username, it made that information 'unhidden' to an extent, or made it so that you could see it. If you viewed the source of any page on Subeta, it was FULL of java script that was mostly just the hover information.

Now, it's loaded WHEN you hover over it. This will really decrease loading time on the user side for most pages, especially for people with slower connections.

  1. We had to update the version of the javascript library we use, and the old version of the hovers didn't work with the newer version of the library.

I'll work on the styling a bit, and making them pop up a second or two faster. ;) As it is, this is so much better on the server, and on your browsers. XD
