one for the moderators - Preview
« on: 22 October 2014, 01:32:45 pm »
Normally, when using my laptop, if I hover the cursor over a subject title on this forum it shows you a preview of what's been written without opening the whole link up, then when the cursor is taken off it goes away, which is fine.
But this does not happen with my iPad tablet or mobile phone.
Once I touch a subject it previews it but then it stays there, so I can't see sod all else on the screen which is annoying to say the least.
Is there a way of turning it off at all?

Yes I had this problem too but I sorted it. What you need to do is dip the phone in ice water for at least 30 seconds. The shock resets the internal processor back to factory settings

isn't that where you have to recharge phone in the microwave after?

and just in case this is joke!!  :lol  (only saying cuz at work someone said this as a joke & someone did actually stick phone in microwave! luckily we stopped them turning it on when they asked how long for!!!!) 
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!

I believe that there is foc all you can do apart from use a different browser on the phone/tablet.

I have the same issue with my phone/tablet if I use the default browsers. Switching to Opera or Firefox fixes the problem.

Not sure how that works on the phone, I've just made a shortcut to the FZS600 forum, although I s'pose its was originally done via Google.
With the iPad, if you don't use Safari then it's like pop up advert mania.


Think it's gonna have to be the bucket of ice then microwave trick then.  :\

Its reasons like this that I dislike ipads and iphones - infact anything apple because it dosent want to work with the rest of the world
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

My Samsung tablet does the same, to get rid of it I have to go back to the previous page. I have just learned to put up with it.

Install different browsers. You can do it on Android (my Samsung phone) and on IOS (iPads etc).
