hey guys,
it would be a good idea to have a consistent behaviour throughout the site for displaying the profile hoverbox and not random as it seems to be now. examples:

stream
in a stream of the type "link" when you hover over the name the hoverbox is showing up, on all other streams there is no hoverbox. so is there a special reason for this one type to use hoverbox while on all other streams it's not used?

friends/followers
in the widgets for friends / followers / following when hovering over a user the hoverbox appears, for the suggested friends widget it doesn't...
also when you view the friends / followers / following page (instead of the widget) there is now no more hoverbox...
Thanks for the heads up on this Alex. We're actually still thinking if we should standardize this throughout any names / links that is used but it would be pretty obstructive if hovering over all the names loads a popbox. We'll see what we can do to standardize this.

I wouldn't go for all names / links but having it consistent throughout the different areas.

so taking the "link" stream example. as that's the only stream type that uses it you can remove it there then the whole stream does NOT use hoverbox - you achieved consistency in that part

then the next part: friends / followers / following - there you currently use hoverbox for most of the widgets so here you could extend this to the pages and then again you have an area with one type of consistent hoverbox behaviour.

in the conversations area you currently don't use it at all so there it's already fine.... I think you get the idea
