tooltip for long titles
 

Hi Grant and Susan,

I am not the most experienced computer user so maybe there is a term for what I am trying to ask, but this sentence describes it all:

Hover the mouse cursor over the title for a tooltip to appear with the full title.

I wonder why this does not exist on the Hubb. When a thread has a long tittle now it is not always possible to know what the thread is about without opening the thread. With a tooltip to appear it would be easier for the user to see if that thread is of interest for him/her or not.


Best regards,

It works for me on the HUBB.

Interesting question!
It USED TO work on everything, but now it seems it only works on Firefox - for me at least, on Windows 10. My personal all the time browser is Firefox, it's the only one I have any semblance of trust that also performs well and reliably.
Chrome, IE, Edge, Opera and Tor all only show the full URL you're going to in the status bar at the bottom, which does help as it's longer text. That's GOOD and really required for security, but killing the tooltips (otherwise known as "title") is stupid.
Firefox! :)

I'm using Chrome. And it works for me.

Interesting!
So why doesn’t it work for me? hmmm….
Rognv, what browser and operating system are you using?
Anyone else works/doesn’t work?

Guess what..............I am using Firefox, and yes on windows 10 :)

On picture screenshot 1 I had the mouse on the red text (title) and you can see a tooltip appeared with the full text. This also works for my bookmarks.

On screenshot 2 I had my mouse at the title ¨Guide recs Mongolian border....¨ but as you see no tooltip, only the statusbar below.

Ah, minor detail - you're going through a translator - all bets are off! Anything can happen.
Having said that, hovering over "Guide Recs Mongolian border" I get a tooltip:

Attachment 25888

but it's NOT the long tooltip description. It's only the full title of the THREAD.
