When I browse this site on my cellphone every time I tap on something it shows a synopsis of the thread in a box then you click the link again to get to the actual thread.
The annoying thing is that the box covers several threads and cannot get to the links to access them.
Is this feature customisable? can I stop it?
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Its not likely you can remove it as it is probably jquery driven using the title attribute. You should be able to tap in an empty space on the screen to get rid of the "popup" - the reason it stays showing on a mobile is due to it being a hover effect. If it didn't stay then it would make a LOT of websites completely useless

Not sure it's jquery? But it is javascript, to be precise overLIB (http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/).
Here's the code:
<a href="http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,8252.0.html" onmouseover="return overlib('When I browse this site on my cellphone every time I tap on something it shows a synopsis of the thread in a box then you click the link again to get to the actual thread.<br /><br />The annoying thing is that the box covers several threads and cannot get to the links to access them.<br /><br />Is this feature customisable? can I stop it?<br /><br />Has anyone else noticed this issue?'

Can I stop it?

Have you considered maybe getting tapatalk instead, I think to get rid of if the coding for the entire site would need to be changed (there would need to be a custom CSS or style and a mobile redirect to point mobiles to a different version of the site, or the code would need completely removed for everyone).
I don't think you can do anything to remove it or stop it happening, other than change to tapatalk, which would also solve your problem.

It's not an issue, it's a feature ;-)
The website is designed to be used on a computer not mobile so on mouse over it works perfectly. A mobile doesn't have a mouse so chrome/WebKit/Firefox each handle it however they have been developed to.
Get over it, it's just the way it is. ;-)

I'm pretty darn sure overlib isn't part of jQuery but it's all JavaScript to me... :rollin. Am I not supposed to laugh at my own jokes ?

Using iphone and ipad I find tapping the pic of a page with a green arrow to the far right of the post opens the correct page straight away, tapping on the actual title gives me the same problems you have

I stand corrected - it was just a guess and I hadn't actually bothered to look at the source code, that required far too much effort :P
overLib is basically just a Javascript library just as jQuery is :)

On android when you tap the article the preview will display for a short moment until the page loads. That is because a mouse click cannot happen without a mouseover event being triggered first.
I would expect that to be the same with all mobile browsers. There is no was to do a mouse over event on a touchscreen as your finger is on the screen or off it. If you try to tap and slide it tries to move the page rather than moving focus on the page.
The only otherway is to push mobile users down a plugin route such as [size=78%]http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=339600.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=339600.0)[/size]

I agree I'm overly pedantic. So sue me. :2guns

I've used both my mobile and tablet (both android) to browse the forum. Although the "popup" can be annoying it doesn't break the functionality of the site.
At the end of the day, the OP was complaining more than the box was on top of the links for the threads below the last one he viewed. As its a mouse over event, moving focus to a blank area should get rid of it - it does on my devices

My galaxy s3 doesn't preview/mouseover, or maybe it's my chubby fingers.

It is an iPhone and your suggestion works.

If you don't use a mobile phone to browse and only use of then it won't be an issue. Personally I use my iPhone for all my Internet browsing. Turning the computer on and waiting for it to boot up takes too much effort :lol
