Um, hi everybody. I noticed today that when I mouse over a thread title, the first line no longer pops up. Did this change recently? What’s up? (I got a new job and haven’t been paying much attention). ---

It’s not a change on the website. If there has been a change it’s most likely in your browser settings, since that’s where most of the action takes place. Have you done anything different recently? ---

Mods: Could the mouse over work for links? For example, if a member has a [link](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003792430_colorado17.html) another member would be able to see the URL. ---

[/QUOTE] Again, it’s not a website thing, it’s mainly in your browser. There may be a way to do this in vBulletin but I doubt it. You can see the link URLs in the bottom message bar if you have things set up that way. ---

You’d need to set the title attribute for the \ coding, but vB code doesn’t provide a way to do that.
