• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Changes intended or a bug?

At some point yesterday, a couple things changed on the forums and I didn't notice a downtime, site notification, etc.

For one thing, the direct links to pages on the threads list are now permanently visible on the entire page. Previously you needed to hover over the thread rows. Sadly the thread hover previews don't pop-up like they did before. I frequently used them; while they may not be as helpful as they are on the newer XenForo (or do they use a plugin for that on SB, et al), I still found the feature helpful. Is there a chance to get them back? Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
...That sounds like something changed in how your browser interacts with the page, to me. Did your browser update, perhaps? Or something going wrong with how your browser detects whether you're using a touch screen for input?
 
No to both. When I noticed the changes yesterday, I didn't even restart the browser.

I've visited QQ with a couple different browsers to check, both logged in and not. Same behavior. Another thing I've noticed just now is the alerts pop-up on the top right of the page, which always opened on a mouse hover before and requires a click now.

It's weird that I'm experiencing this across devices and you're apparently not.
 
Well, I haven't checked multiple devices yet. But that example with the alerts sounds exactly like the default touchscreen behavior.

I know that SV/SB ran into a problem with touchscreen detection a while back, which is why I thought of it.
