Various parts of the site have been changed to reflect the new item mouse-over effect. This is going to be tweaked and changed, and moved around site-wide over the next few days.

Hopefully, you'll soon be able to gather all the data you need from an item by just hovering over it :)

Note: If you are having trouble getting this, or the new user-mouseovers to work, hold Ctrl on your keyboard, and press F5. This will reload the javascript libraries that were updated today :) If that doesn't work, clear ALL cache and temporary files - and it will defiantly reload.

PS: This is NOT SITEWIDE yet. At the moment this only works on select parts of the site, and is being extended over the next few days.

I absolutely LOVE this idea... the only time it gets annoying is doing quests, and I'm hoping it doesn't go into the shops... But elsewhere is awesome. Two thumbs up!

[center]Is it at all possible to give us the option
to turn OFF the item hover effect?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

could you add a turnoff option because whenever i go over items that don't have it yet it sends me to some other page

Could you please include an option to turn it off? Or maybe turn it off in everything quest-related? And in shops? Please? It's not only annoying me by now ... it makes me want to rip out my hair.

How come some have rarity numbers and some still say "really rare"?

At first I thought it's a great idea but after surfing around a bit and doing quests ... it gets annoying after a while (especially if you really don't want to see it and your cursor happens to be in the wrong place) and I really wished I could turn it off now. btw takes a while to load, my internet connection might be too slow or my pc is too old :S

Aw, you changed the rarities for higher items to really rare. I had someone tell me a minion I was looking to buy was r99 only to find out that when I bought it from someone else it was r97. This function really would've prevented that from happening again

xD I love the mouse overs. I really like reading the descriptions of items and this will save time. ;3

Great idea! Now people using Firefox won't have to worry about the mouse-overs not working. I have a slow computer and it works fine.

This is sooo great! A splendid idea! Now I don't need to go to SDB orSHQ all the time to check on rarity, and to know the official price is ... priceless!

Hey, I just wanted to let you all know that when I do Saggi's quests instead of the item image I see "$get_item".

Yup :3

But for the people with problems... either they need firefox, or maybe an option in preferences to turn this off?

It's a nice idea, but it can get annoying really fast, especially when you're trying to do item quests. It can also get annoying when you want to view your own profile and your whole avatar comes up. Plus it must be hell for older slow computers to have to spit up these images so often.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Sorry to say that if this pop up thing is kept, I'll be getting little use from the site. It locks my browsers(and sometimes my system). I'm pretty much at the point now to where I've got to be exceptionally careful not to roll over anything, plus, I'm having to avoid places that have them by the dozens... I really do not like this... at all.

This is not to forget the sudden increase on load time.

Please, offer us a way to eliminate them on our end if nothing else, if we do not wish to have to deal with them.

sighs Thanks.

This is a brilliant idea I love it!. Before it was far too time consuming having to keep clicking the items and then when you've seen there info having to click the back button. Much better, a great improvment for sure and it will be very helpfull indeed, nice work .

I wanted to suggest this for sometime now.. I LOVE the descriptions of these items.. some of the artists have the twisted since of humor that I possess and so very much enjoy.. its going to be so fun to be able to read descriptions of things w/o having to buy them.. ( or remember them when they are in my gallery!!)

Don't forget to apply it to the right hand top random iamge. I hate it when I am exploring and see something and, not knowing what it is, have to stop and investigate.
