Forum avatar popouts gone?

Has the avatar informational popout in the forums been removed? I just noticed that when I mouse over an avatar, it no longer pops out the user's profile summary information. I liked this functionality.

Never mind. I just noticed that clicking it now brings the popout up. This is probably better since you can do this now on a Playbook or other touch-based device as well.

Triggering
We removed the hover trigger and replaced all instances with click/tap only. We found it frustrating that some instances required a click whilst others required a hover to bring up the panel.

Closing
In all instances the panel went away when someone moused out...but this coupled with inconsistent triggering drove some people around the bend. Understandably so. You can now only close the panel via the close button or tapping/clicking anywhere outside it.
