I don't get hover text on the report icon. Maybe because it's coded as a title parameter on the a-href tag instead of an alt parameter on the img tag? I do see the text in IE6.
Firefox 3.5.8 on Win2K.

Boo-ya Robert! Loving the changes. I've been database happy at work lately, so I know exactly what you mean by finding new and wonderful things to do with data when stored in a db format. While I'm limited to Access/Excel it is certainly fun work.
SQL forever!

That's odd Glen, I can see it in Opera, IE8, IE6, Firefox 3.5.8.
Anyways, I should add it as an ALT as well. Try it now.

I still don't see it in Firefox 3.5.8 on Win2K ... but I do in Firefox 3.6 on XP (which I didn't check that previously, so it may always been there). Maybe is related to one of the plugins I have on 3.5.8. 3.6 doesn't have the same plugins. Browser quirks, no cause for an off-balance buzzer.
I haven't (yet) updated the Win2K system to Firefox 3.6, maybe that'd "fix" it.
Not sure if this is a problem on my computer or the site..
Is it confused by some of the characters?

I saw the same thing on my system (Debian and Opera 10.10).
Another possible explanation for the problem is that this text was probably orginally some other coding system. It looks like it was copied from some other web site. If you look at the places where there are question marks, they are where there would be quotes or apostrophes. That's the first place I see trouble. I've seen this sort of thing before.

I've got it too.
Thus far, everything has worked perfectly on my PC. I think this error is because the text was copied and pasted from an incompatible system and is not a problem with AW.org itself.

Thanks Jamie, a picture is really helpful. Hmmm, I see it too. Is it me or is it showing up the same way here too?...

Hey Robert,
Yes, I see it the same way on your link posted above with squares - which is just the same way I see it on A440s original posting. XP Pro SP3 & IE8
Have a great weekend

No biggie, but...
Not getting any hover text on the new "report" icon here.
Using Opera (latest rev, 10.10, on a Windows 2000 Pro (up to date vis-a-vis patches and Java).

Word are getting chopped off
in the subject drift even though they appear just fine in the preview.
Lost "whole week" in the outdoor drying thread, and part of Mexico in the Easy thread. Well, not part of the country, just the word.
Hardly monumental, but thought you'd want to know.

I do see the hover text in Firefox, though.
This and other issues with Opera in other web sites is leading me back to Firefox. I abandoned it last year because of "server not found issues". These seemed to have died down (perhaps because I'm being more careful how I turn on the modem and router each time), so I'll give it another try.
Opera is nice but it has too many compatibility issues.

I've had some butchering done to my words in the subject drift as well.

Post 420425 just above for example.
I was quoting your 'you should now be seeing the new Logged-in "Push the Dial in guy"' or was that just too long for the drift?

Hey Andy,
Normally, if your drift gets too long it just stops. Try it...you go too far and poop, the party's over. This new thing of truncating medium-sized drifts is a definite little bug in the rug. One nose teak and it'll be gone.

Thanks Rich although it makes me a bit nervous to use more icons for menus with hover text if any browser wont support it, if its just Opera than I will be less concerned.
Mike and Drew, thank you both. I didn't realize the program was cutting off drifts. The problem was is I had the field set at 100 characters and the database set to save 60 characters for the drift. I up'd the database value to 100 now so it wont get cuff off again.
Thank you all for your help, please keep letting me know about bugs like this if you notice anything. Most of them I can get fixed relatively easily.

ps I also see that when the threads are loading the profile pictures are causing the page to bounce a bit until its completely loaded. I know how to fix that and I will do that tomorrow or Monday.
password length?
hey all, hi Robert. Thanks for your hard work, the new features are NICE!
Apparently my profile got deleted entirely.
So in order to keep posting I reapplied again, but it seems the number of characters used for a password was to high, the system would just chop off the last few characters in its "reply & thank you for registering-page".
Could that be the reason for deletion?
Glad to be on board again

Hi Joe, sorry about that, it certainly is odd, passwords can be up to 10 characters in length. Was your old password longer than that?
I knew we would have a few issues during the conversion, I'm happy its be as few as it have. One other member had their password changed as it converted incorrectly, everyone else so far so good. ***fingers crossed***

I updated my Win2K system to Firefox 3.6, still not seeing hover text on the report button.
I also don't see it in Firefox 2.00.20 on WinNT4, LOL.
Another issue I'm seeing, perhaps more legitimate than missing hover text in older browsers running on older OSes, is upon entering text for a reply post (already logged-in), clicking Submit, the preview is blank (doesn't happen every time). Back (text already filled in), submit again, it's there. This could be a local network problem, there's a bit of sluggishness last few days ... but the preview appears immediately, just is blank on the first submit.
