Re: Please Take The Asterisks Away
I honestly like the idea of "click off the pop-up, and it disappears" better than this. I really don't see myself clicking names much, but I just tried it out for the first time ... and it's a nice feature! I just don't like having to click on the "X" to do away with it  .

Those who do use WHAT?
All the functionality is back, and then some, just without the unsightly stars.
No need for an option. If you really want them back, I guess something like Greasemonkey or the mighty mighty Proxomitron could do it for you...

Wow!
And now the "Move, and Close Popup" buttons are much bigger (as requested by some...especially those with Notebook Touchpads).
Man! I have to admit it's getting better, it's getting better, all the time.
When people talk, justin listens! (Well...sometimes).

Hey! Click the name ... and it goes Pop!
Now when you click the name of the Original poster it pops up a Profile window. 
Better that the asterisk and yet unobtrusive.
Good going justin

Re: Hey! Who Stole The Asterisk
said by dvd536 :Now about that tiny X. theres enough unused space on that popup to place a close button or better yet, move your mouse off the window, it goes away by itself! Or when you click outside the popup, close it.

This Site is the best!
I wanted to say that justin (and "staff"), deserve a big thumbs up.
And I'm not talking about only the 'asterisk controversy', but rather a general statement about the site itself.
This site is not only unique in so many ways that it's impossible to name them all, but the fact that members can actually voice their opinions about any changes going on around here, makes it that much better.
And yes, it wouldn't surprise me at all if something else changes tomorrow...no problem.
Another reason this place is great.
Anyway, this thread seemed as good a place as any to mention that.
So, thanks again...for everything.
(Ok folks...carry on, with your carrying-on).  |

Re: Please Take The Asterisks Away
said by 81399672 :Mods i want to appeal your decision to take away the asterisk. Now its not clear that you can click on the name to see that person profile unless you do it by accident. Is it clear you can click on a users name on the left of their forums post? There's never been an asterisk there and we all know you can click the name.

Well, getting B's popup will always be a challenge. Clicking on a "B" isn't a lot easier than clicking on a "*".
I guess "B" is better than, say, "i", though.

said by Johnny :When it was a link, you had to click it and then the only plain text that you could Google was the tiny header line on the user's page. I'm not quite following that either.
As shown in tmpchaos screenshot above, even if a User Name (or any other other word for that matter), is a link, you can still highlight it and right click for a search.
