Chris,
When you read Hans message, can you also clarify what platforms this is working on, or is there still issues?
I have both the settings and the top of the forum check boxes ticked, and I never see the popups working, this is on Chrome.
Cheers,

Dave,
It wasn't working for me, either, until I clicked the Update button on the orange bar.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried that as well......
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, there's no help for it, you'll have to upgrade your bios. 
|
|
|
|
|
I even disabled all the chrome extensions incase one of them were interfering.
upgrade the bios won't work, maybe a new laptop will

Dave (to wife): Honey, I evidently need a new laptop because the one I have doesn't allow me to use some new functionality on a web site that's important to my job."
Wife: What functionality is that, dear?
Dave: It allows me to place reference material into a visual context, and supplies amplifying information that would otherwise go un-referenced.
Wife: English, please.
Dave: I want to look at other user's profiles without having to actually click on their user ID.
Wife: For instance?
Dave: (selects JSOP user ID, displaying the monkey-turkey avatar in all it's glory) Like that.
Wife: You're kidding, right?
Dave: No, I would never have known this guy was such a god-like individual if I hadn't clicked on the link. If I had a new laptop, his diety-ness would have been obvious with a mere hover of the mouse cursor.
Wife: Well, okay then.

I would if that was how things work, but i'll give you a 5 on that message for effort  ;
Wife: You bought a new laptop?
Me: Yep.
Wife: When am I getting a new one?
Me: (selective hearing engaged)
Thats how it went when I appeared on the Sofa the other week with a new Samsung 10.1 tablet......

Try changing your forum View to Normal. I'll dig in and see why it's not working when you choose "Expand Posts and Replies"

Yeh! They work fine on normal.........looks like you've found a bug Mr M.

The member popups never displayed the member's join date, messages or articles. It's always been just the simple "What do I look like, what do I do and where do I live" popup.
Here's the entity that's passed back, and has been passed back since v1:
public class MemberSummary
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Company { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string WebsiteURL { get; set; }
public string ProfileURL { get; set; }
public string ImageURL { get; set; }
public int RepPoints { get; set; }
}

Wow, I guess I need to check my RAM. 
Now that we've established that, can you please add that infos to the popup? ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I do believe the time has come, and filtering through all the static on the Lounge to find the "signal" is tiresome.
My preference: strong moderation to eliminate OT posts, personal fluffing, etc.

One of the problems though is the underlying technologies.
For example, if the metro style apps are HTML5 + Javascript, where do the users post the questions, you end up with stuff all over the place.
Its bad enough at the moment with the VB/C#, ASP.net, Javascript, Windows Forms, .Net forums, and regularly see question which were probably better suited in one of the others, but technically are also in the correct place.
It might be easy to have a HTML5/CSS3/Javascript type combined, as that would also capture web app programming through the browser.
Its like a big bowl of technology broth all mixed up!

Hi Dave, thanks for taking your time to respond !
My suggestion doesn't really focus on the Q/A forums side of things, but was intended to suggest a forum for discussion of the broader implications of all the new technology in Win8, which is going to be a major shift. Issues of migration, issues of interaction between older technologies and the new, issues in deployment, etc.
I think forums for Win8 questions can be added later, per flavor (Metro and WRT, SilverLight, WinC++) of technology, using CP's existing structure.
Right now there's some excellent discussion in the Lounge, and I'm following comments by several CP members closely, like Daniel Grunwald, and, of course, Pete O'Hanlon. But, there's such a tsunami of twittophrenic crap in the Lounge I'd like to see a special forum for these issues which I believe directly affect many CP members work and businesses, and, potentially, income.
best, Bill

For now I would prefer to just let things settle down. BUILD has just wrapped up so of course the topic de jour will be Win8 and its cohorts, and I think it's great there's so much discussion.
The fuss will die down quickly, and then once we have sufficient volume of working-life questions and discussions we can open a new forum.

Thanks, Nish-ji, You are also one of the people on CP whose interesting posts I 'follow' closely

Since Codeproject was down, I had to busy myself with actual work, and was forced to put up with a mix of VB and javascript, the most unholy union I can envision for a working programer.
Chris, I hope you're happy...

Is a visit to the shooting range in order for the weekend? I think so.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Always.
