Agree with Silver seren. A wonderful gadget. Very useful to me. MathewTownsend (talk) 15:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Useful, perhaps, but murder on a slow connection. I disabled Popups after trying it for the same reason. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would connection speed matter? Unlike Popups, this shows you material from the current page. --Tgr (talk) 09:02, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice tool. But it will highlight the source in the "References" section instead of opening a new pop-up if that particular source is visible in your screen. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 05:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible thing, I don't want pop-ups all the time. Night of the Big Wind _talk 07:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What if they enact the capability where you have to actually click on the reference for it to pop-up? Silver seren^C 08:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Like -- I'd use something like that. Click on it, pop-up opens, click on any part of the screen except to reference to go back. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this click and open option would be great. This will help editors improve referencing. And give our readers this vital information more quickly (so hopefully they will become editors and fix it).Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:51, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
