Can't Preview Threads

[kmb584]

I thought the ability to preview a thread by hovering over the title had been taken away until someone posted it as an issue on the theme parks board. If I load the DIS on Firefox I'm able to preview the thread, but have no such luck on Chrome (which happens to be my default browser). I have JavaScript checked to run. Any ideas?

Interesting...I'm using Chrome and have no problems with the hover-preview. So I don't think it's browser-specific.

I'm using chrome and it's working. Is it happening on all of the forums?

All of them, yes. I've tried disabling my pop-up blocker too, no luck.

kmb584 did you see the Chrome settings I posted in the other thread?

Also the version Chrome I have that it's working on is: Version 40.0.2214.94 m

I did.. thought I posted a response (but looking at the thread, I didn't)! My settings are exactly the same as yours, as is my version of Chrome. It's just so strange how it's working for some and not others.

Just as a visual, this is what I see when I hover over a thread link in Chrome versus Firefox.

That's so WEIRD!! You have the same Chrome extensions and chrome version, too?

BTW, I'm on a Windows 7 machine here. Just trying to figure out what the difference between our installations is!

Same everything. I do have Ad Block Plus installed, but I tried deactivating it for the boards to see if that was the issue. Nope!

 

[Candleshoe]

Tell you what, I'll download it, install it, deactivate it, and see if that has me lose preview.

 

[Candleshoe]

I downloaded it and installed it, and it's active. But I still see the Preview.

Ok, I DISABLED adblocker to be in the same state you are in, and I still have preview.

Maybe it's disabled for all usernames beginning with k?

Hey, one thing we didn't compare. I'm NOT logged in with a G+ account on chrome. I declined a log on. Are you?

Logged out of Google+, still no preview.

Logged out of Google+, still no preview.

I'm sorry. I'm out of ideas.

 

[Candleshoe]

Wait! One more idea.

What theme are you using? I'm using Dark Scheme and it's working.

 

[kmb584]

Default. I switched to dark, no luck. Thanks for all your help, though! Not being able to preview a post isn't the end of the world, but it was handy.

I'm having the same issue with Chrome. I'll try IE and see what happens with it. I REALLY like being able to preview threads.

 

[patty57]

The preview works fine with IE. Maybe I'll just use that for Disboards.

This is asolution I found on another forum...

"
I found the error. All settings were the same, but somehow Google Chrome thinks (as the only program on my PC) that my PC is a touch device.
In chrome://flags/, I had to find Enable touch events. By default it's set to Automatic, but once I changed it to Deactivated, everything worked"
