speech balloons - can they be disabled?

[chezzy]

I don't know if the speech balloons (when mousing-over a topic) are new, or if I have only just noticed

but was hoping there was a way to disable them. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance!

They disappeared when lithium took over the boards.

It's taken 12 months to get them back.

I like 'em.  You don't have to waste time opening a thread.

You can see what it's about straight away

I am not asking if anyone likes them - I am asking if anyone knows how to disable them. Thankyou.

Each to his own.  I find them totally annoying.  Is there an 'off' switch?

OK. When I read your question, I had a look in the settings.

under my settings, preferences, display

I have ticked display menus dynamically with mouse over, then save changes

my bubbles have now gone, on an iPad using Chrome.

no idea if that will work for anyone else...or why it should have worked...because to me it shouldn't, but changed it back and have bubbles again.

I have a sneaking suspicion, that is a bug and won't work for everyone

Thanks - do you mean your device settings or under 'my ebay' somewhere?

I am on a normal PC (laptop - windows)

The Lithium settings. Same row as your ID, next to sign out for the boards. Top left.

Me too!  I couldn't work out how to disable them.

  Guess I should have used the speech bubble and not opened the thread

Thanks - found it but it hasn't made any difference (mine was unticked anyway - I tried ticking and then unticking etc) 😞
