Forum Question

**SnarkyTwit** · 01-28-2008

Hi folks!

I've looked around at the various settings for the forums and I can't seem to find an answer. I am using FireFox 3 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate x64. When reading various posts or navigating around various areas of Vistx64.com, there is a preview of posts by the mouse cursor. Usually when in a forum, the preview is of the previous or next post. This is really annoying as the preview covers up the text of the post I am reading. Is there any way to shut off the preview in the UserCP that I haven't found yet?

Thanx in advance.

Nope, I can only turn the post preview on or off globally

Ok thanx. Just one more quick question that is related. I noticed that when the cursor is over images on some web pages, there is text that pops up. IE on the google home page, when I have the mouse cursor over the google logo, the word "Google" pops up. I figure this is a HTML tag. Does anyone know of any way to disable that tag in my browser universally? I find those pop up text thingys really really really annoying....

Thanx again

It's called the alt tag, I dont know how to disable it, but a quick google might do the trick.
