Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4

Well in fact no, you're not alone missing that popup (I thought I wrote about it as well). It broke my workflow when answering to someone I think is new.

ok, but at least for me, as I wrote above, it's not such a big deal compared to not being able to see the upvotes :)
Because it seemed that nobody but me noticed it and hardly anyone used this "feature" anyway, I thought I'd mention it in my post on the new NodeBB update.

Yes, it was nice for quickly checking someones "stats" without leaving the current discussion.

... and from testing on that old style forum page linked by @Nhan-Nguyen you can see that even guests can access the preview popup to check who they are dealing with. As in both NodeBB versions guests can't visit the profiles... so no access to reputation or number of posts when you are here "just reading".

Maybe there is a way to implement it or something similar again :)
Or it comes with a new update to NodeBB's Harmony Style?!

Technically, this feature can be copied from the NodeBB Persona theme, just a matter of time and priority. I'm currently full-booked with other stuff so I'll create a ticket and it can be implemented later on.

Thought so. Now I know the official name for this. Firefox "Inspect Element" ftw :D
It's called "Usercard".
Actually I don't now why they (the NodeBB maintainers / design devs) didn't port features like this to the new Harmony design?!
If the usercard "persona style" doesn't match anymore, it's easily adaptable to the new design, I think...

I assume they decided to make the bold move and drop some features that are evaluated as "old" and "less useful". Just my plain simple guess :D

Probably so. I've experienced the NodeBB template system and have a good impression of it. I foresee a bit of effort in finding the JavaScript logic to handle the opening/closing the mentioned "user card".

Sorry for the late reply (I was on vacation). The upvoters' names now also work for me. Thank you very much! I don't have any further complains about the new forum style.

@Nhan-Nguyen @SGaist

Thank god the "usercard" profile preview widget is finally back :))
(I guess it came with the NodeBB 4.3 update today)
Hovering someones profile pic or linked username results in showing a popup with more information about reputation, posts, followers and public profile details :)

@Pl45m4 Now the question is: how to you handle that from a mobile point of view ? 😅

Works even on Android using the Qt Webapp... just press and hold

@Pl45m4 It seems that with iOS I have to long press and then cancel the preview that starts in order to see the card 😅

When I hold for too long I also get the context menu ;D
(equal to right mouse click in Desktop env.)

It's tricky but it works
