Good point.

Checking specs for those who don't have them listed in signature is single click. Considering how long the lines could get, and that this would only work on desktop, I don't really see the point.

You already have your specs listed in your forum signature which shows below each post, along with a link to a PCPP list in your signature as well. You also have the system specs filled out on your profile, and again along with a PCPP list. That gives people 4 different ways of reading what your system specs are. Do you really need a 5th way to show off your specs?

I disable signatures so I wasn't aware of that.

 

Due to this, I believed the only way you could view the specifications were to click on the profile, and many probably wouldn't know specifications were in profiles, so it was just an idea 🙂

The specs would still need to be listed in profile to allow such popup. Which makes this even more pointless.

If you were just going to pull through the specs from peoples profile, then you'd end up with them appearing on posts where they're not relevant. For example, I don't really need a full spec list to walk someone through how to boot off a USB stick.

 

If you're going to make people fill it in manually for every post, then surely the people who don't list their specs normally aren't going to list them this way either?

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

It grabs the data from the profile; you have to click on the "x's system' link for the overlay to appear, so it's very compact.

 

It's very useful on a tech support forum.

I'm not totally opposed to this idea. However, I wonder how often it would actually be useful - my intuition is that the intersection of people who actually fill in their system specs on their profile, and those who don't include the relevant specs in their posts, is pretty small. If there is useful coverage there though, I can see value in adding some way of viewing someone's specs from a post, either as a button in the poster block or as a button in the user hovercard. It's not a super straight forward thing to add though, so it probably won't happen in the immediate future.
