Site Hovers

September 24, 2014 9:43 pm

The hovers around the site (user and item hovers) have been updated! This should speed up your page views by a lot, and they should be a lot more reliable. It should also make pages with a lot of items like big shops load much faster!

Technical
We moved the hovers to the javascript framework we hope to have all of our code running in the future. This will make page loads significantly less stressful on your browsers. Prior to this it searched the entire page to find all of the elements that could hover (which is why sometimes you saw images have the item hover on them) and gave them a hover. Now, it isn't activated until you actually hover. Also, you actually get a little spin thing now while waiting for the information to pop up.

It also means previously where we had issues with hovers not working (in places where content appears after the page loads - places like trades, and newer pages that use single page navigation) will now work automatically.

Item hovers in trades is so good, what a pain it was opening another page to see anything. I'm hoping the sticker hovers are better too, Im going to check, thank you so much.

ThatÂ´s brilliant! :D

September 25, 2014, 4:17 am by

This is brilliant!! I love it! Thanks so much for this!

I think the item hovers are actually prettier now. xD And they work in trades. THIS IS GREAT! 8D Thank you.

September 25, 2014, 4:04 am by

Awesome work, love the change. Thanks Subeta! =D

September 25, 2014, 3:51 am by

I just wanted to say how great this is, such a huge improvement ❤

September 25, 2014, 3:46 am by

YAY .

September 25, 2014, 3:43 am by

this is lovely. thank you!

- that has been broken for me for about a week now. Not sure how related it is to this, but I definitely agree. I want that feature back. It was nice, especially because copying the image is so much easier than copying the text when on a tablet.

I definitely do love the new hovers though! They look great and, for me, the loading is indeed much faster.

September 25, 2014, 3:13 am by

Thank you so much that is much much better.

September 25, 2014, 3:06 am by

thumbs up

Hm. The picture needs the same time for me when hovering over it then before and also the site is slow and many host errors occur. I wasnÂ´t able to participate in a trade raffle also because the trades canÂ´t be searched.

September 25, 2014, 2:12 am by

Sweet change. I think the user hovers are broken in friend feed though?

September 25, 2014, 1:24 am by

Oh, nvm. Just realized it was an issue with my CustomCSS. derp ... My aesthetic issues are completely my own...

September 25, 2014, 1:00 am by

My only problem is that it can inadvertently cover the wishlist add/remove feature (especially in my inventory where the items are towards the top of the page and the hover moves to the bottom of the image and covers the wishlist-majiggy.) Can it be moved to the left/right of the image instead?

September 25, 2014, 12:56 am by

But now copying the item image won't copy the item name. I know this is a small thing, but it became very useful to me when only item images were shown. Will you put this feature back in (maybe it's out because of a bug with the new update?) Or is this now removed for good? :(

September 25, 2014, 12:44 am by

They're a bit plain.. but they do what they are supposed to and only that.. and the loads are much better. I approve!

September 24, 2014, 11:31 pm by

Hooray!

September 24, 2014, 11:13 pm by

Yeah but now the wishlist border is gone again. :/ Also, can you stop implementing changes during events. I want my site stable during these stressful times.

September 24, 2014, 11:10 pm by

They are a LOT faster for me. I'm hoping this also means the site will use much less of my boyfriend's bandwidth now! :)

September 24, 2014, 11:02 pm by

They look fantastic! They're still really slow for me right now, but maybe they'll get better. Glad we can copy from the hovers now as well. It's a shame that the emoticons don't appear in the use info hover when a user has them in their status, though.

September 24, 2014, 10:49 pm by

Ooooh. I really like this a lot. I had trouble with hovers taking forever to appear or not appearing. The new look is gonna take some getting used to but it looks good!

September 24, 2014, 10:32 pm by

And it's so nice being able to copy information out of the hovers. :D

September 24, 2014, 10:29 pm by

Oh Happy Day!

September 24, 2014, 10:29 pm by

Awesome! It's already so much faster. Thank you! :)

September 24, 2014, 10:23 pm by

I like but aesthetically there's something kind of ugly On a lot of the new things actually, where there is a lot of empty space but I can't really explain i'm just being whiny

September 24, 2014, 10:15 pm by

Oh gosh thanks for this! :D

September 24, 2014, 10:14 pm by

omg! Thank you so much! The hovers have always been troublesome for me. I like the new layout of them and they just load so quickly now! Awesome work guys :)
