Make the dropdowns appear on click

awec

Hi guys,

The "hover" feature on the dropdowns in the top right (my user one and the My Forums one) is not at all useful on touch devices.

Could it be changed so that these menus appear on click, instead of on hover? Would give a more consistent experience across devices.

The same applies to the forum list at the top.

The only way I can navigate different forums at the moment is by using the search box every time I want to go somewhere.

They work on click on iPad. I'm assuming the way we handle this isn't supported by IE10 in touch mode. Leave it with us while I rustle up a touch screen Windows 8 machine.

You sir, are a legend!

Here is an article that gives details of touch in ie10: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/jj553857(v=vs.85).aspx

Proper detection should now be happening on IE10

Hi Danny,

It's detecting it better now, but when I click on the menu it appears for a second and then disappears. I need to hold my finger on it to make it appear continuously and then I can't click on any links.

Hey,

Click events are attached if we detect you're on a touch-capable device. The problem was that touch detection was failing yesterday for IE10 so these click events weren't attached. This should be resolved now, but there's clearly something else amiss so we'll have to source an IE10 touch device for full testing. I'll see about getting one as soon as possible
