Updated version here: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/forum/topic/here-is-a-proper-fix-for-hovering-over-multiple-avatars-and-having-the-bubble-pop-up-on-all-of-them-in-the-order-you-hovered/#post-80468

* Use at your own risk, no warranty or support provided *

The problems:

1. The ajax requests aren’t aborted when hovering over another item or when you “mouseout” off an avatar. This creates a queue of requests and the bubble will pop up over every avatar you hovered on.
2. On slow servers it is clearly evident how long displaying information can take.

The Solution: I updated the bubble-hover.js file here: http://pastie.org/1304217.

It will now show a loader.gif (which is already in this package for some reason so you don’t have to upload an image) and the bubble will pop up instantly, with a loading gif until the ajax request is complete and will populate the bubble. I also included a check to abort the ajax request on hover and mouseout.

Install:

1. Set your delay for this plugin in the dashboard to 0 (this is no longer needed)
2. Back you your bubble-hover.js in wp-content/plugins/cp-bp-avatar-bubble/_inc/bubble-hover.js
3. Overwrite the code in bubble-hover.js with the code from here: http://pastie.org/1304217
4. Hard refresh your browser and check it out!

I’m including the code here just in case pastie.org removes it or goes down

Cheers
