I searched throughout the forum for a few hours and wasn’t able to find anything specifically on this topic (though it was mentioned in some threads about user cards as a suggestion.) I understand that many are opposed to this but for some contexts in forums this makes a lot of sense - currently working on a custom theme and wondering if there’s a simple way to show user cards on hover rather than on click: ![12%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/5/852cc040c4b17e6aab4e746f85a56e5efabbf889.png) Is there any reason to believe that this will hinder performance or stress the backend in any way? If upon scrolling and these cards are pre-loaded it could send a lot of requests on the backend? Just wondering how best to achieve this without affecting speed and overall performance of the site. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/displaying-user-card-on-hover/104126)._
