On Line User Popups

Agreed with you totally. It is most annoying. We should have the choice to view the member bios by clicking on the avatar and not just by mousing over it.

Hey, how do you stop the popups?

I would agree. I have learned to keep my mouse pointer in the center of the page and all but illiminated this annoyance.

While I personally don't like it, there may be others that do.

Just a thought.

Hans, that idea works well if you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel.  Unfortunately if you are on a laptop and using the touchpad like I do most of the time I'm here it doesn't work out so well. 

And I can't imagine anyone coming here for technical support liking it.  People on Facebook and MySpace wouldn't like it there.

I agree.  It's one of the biggest design flaws on the new site.  The worst part is the location on the page right next to the scroll bar where you are almost forced to mouse over it.  If they had only placed it at the lower left side of the page it wouldn't have been so bad. 

It's just more evidence that the people who designed this catastrophe didn't bother to do any usability studies before implementing an extremely poorly thought out design.  In it's silence on the matter Dell has shown that it really doesn't care about it's customers.  I haven't seen any evidence that anyone from Dell is even interested in our opinions since day two or three of the fiasco.

Hello PapaSmurf68, I suppose you are correct about the laptop use.

I do have a Dell laptop, but I don't use it when logging on to the DCF. I use it for video surveilence.

You are indeed correct about the wheel scroll. I have had to learn to navigate the DCF differently than any other site.

Maybe it will get better soon.

Let's Hope so.

In a reply from another post they (Dell) are working on it. I don't mine the popups, I just wish they would close when you move your mouse away from them.

bobsaah, that would help a lot. 

I would be happy if I could collapse the users online so I don't go over it.

May be they will intigrate PudgyOne´idea of a collapseble members online window, that would be grand since as you said we have to know who is on line.

Did you see ? No more members on line avatar. they are gone. To whomever, Thank you.

I did see that early today. My only problem now is that I cannot know who is online if I wished to PM them.

You seem to win one battle and loose another.

Oh well, It will all get sorted out in time I suppose.
