Can I turn off the Subject tool tips somewhere?

[MikeTimbers]

Er, which tool tips are these? When you post a new thread or when you go to post replies?

Screen shot here (http://webpages.charter.net/cwe/tooltip.jpg). I just find it kind of annoying to have these popping up while all I'm trying to do is look at the list of posts.

Thanks

I don't think there is a user option to turn the Thread Preview Text off.

If you keep your cursor from hovering over the thread fields there won't be any pop-ups. I don't really notice the previews because I use the scroll bar.

Kinda like Microsoft there Pell. I need to change my usage habits to enjoy the new 'feature'. :banghead: :)

I'll look around sometime and see if there's a hack.

It's just a template modification.

Go to Templates, Threadbit templates, edit "threadbit" and remove any instance of $thread[preview]

Yea, that would work, but it is a feature that I sometimes use.

I was thinking of something to make it a user option to turn off and on.

Add a user profile field option, put it into the options page, make it a checkbox, and label it "Do not show thread tooltips". Find out the field number, and then edit the template, replace any instance of $thread[preview] with...

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['fieldN']">$thread[preview]</if>

I haven't tested this out explicitly, but I have implemented an old-style postbit user option at Phoenix (http://www.phoenixrising.ws/forums/) boards that employs the same technique.

Hehe, you're telling this to a guy that doesn't even know jack about html. ;)
