[New Feature] Post tooltips

Here's a suggestion, if you guys agree:

Automatically disable the pop-up entirely for everyone, whenever the tag script is on.

Reason: If you're clicking on a lot of images at once, you might end up clicking some of these tags by accident. I know I unfortunately made that mistake a couple times.

It seems like the new update contained the improved version of the tooltips, try it out!

I really like the updated tooltips! The overall style (especially the bar on the top) looks professional, and having the tooltip above the thumbnail instead of atop it solves the problem of accidentally clicking a link instead of the thumbnail. Also, I really like the functionality of links to open the source or direct image without needing to visit the post.

EDIT: CSS for always coloring tooltips and matching tooltip BG to Darkbooru here: forum #146842

I did not like the tooltips because they got in the way of any mass editing I was doing. Disabling them will be a huge help for me.

Changes

• Added disable option.
• Moved tooltips to above thumbnails.
• Reduced sensitivity by 66% (raised delay from 450ms to 750ms).
• Reduced width and height (new size is 3 thumbnails wide, 6 lines tall).
• Made tag list more compact.
• Only show tag colors when hovering over tooltip.
• Added header bar with more info: top tagger, upload date, score, favcount, comment count, source, rating, image dimensions.
• Added list of series pools, along with page number and page count.
• Reduced scrollbar size (Chrome only).

Fixes

• Fixed tooltips getting stuck.
• Fixed tooltips appearing on touch devices.
• Fixed tooltips not hiding after clicking the thumbnail or pressing keys.

Some further notes on the above:

• Tooltips only being colored on hover is a compromise to bring the new tooltips back to feeling more like the old tooltips by default. I'm still on the fence about this.

• Disabling tooltips requires an account, just as other user preferences require an account. This is so that disabling them will be permanent. Other methods (namely cookies) wouldn't be permanent, which I think would be more displeasing than having to make an account.

• Use the disable option to disable tooltips instead of hiding them with custom CSS, otherwise they'll still be loaded in the background.

• The HTML structure has changed, so custom CSS may need to be updated.

I had reservations about the first version of the new tips, but this is neat (on Firefox 59). Thanks!

Now that the tooltips are shown and hidden more smoothly, I support coloring the tags by default. The tips usually appear because you want to see them, and colored tags provide a more effective summary of the post.

Hoping the colour are back to by default, at least for the title, character, artist, so they're more easily read at a glance.
Found them harder to parse by sight if all are same grey.

Just found an annoyance with the current tooltip. If you edit the tags through the edit mode (when you looking at the listing and not at a single post), tags in the tooltip won't get updated until you refresh the page. Would be nice if the tooltip also update without refreshing the page.

Seconding a toggle or making the colours on by default.

I've noticed it's possible to have the mouse pointer in-between the tooltip and the picture (about 3 pixels) so the tip disappears. Would it help to have it right up against the picture, or to have the area between "count" as part of the picture?

I think I'm a little too late for this thread, but if anyone gets a notification for this or checks this thread's status, then I'm in need of help. I turned off tooltips when i was logged out by pressing the (X), then it told me to log in to turn them off, so after doing that, (I can't remember if it took me to the settings page where I manually turned it off or it simply logged me in with tooltips off, this was almost a year ago) I found that nowhere in settings or anywhere on in the website was there a way to turn them off (at least I couldn't find them).

Does anyone know how to turn them back on? They are so useful

You can re-enable them by going into your settings > advanced and changing the "Disable post tooltips" option to "No".
