ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I didn't even know we can use HTML here. I've tried it in the past, but it just displayed as text.And, although I see your ALT tags, I cannot see any tooltips. Maybe Firefox ignores ALT tags...?

expertec Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Possibly.And it is only staff that can use HTML, maybe you should ask Craig to allow it for Subscribers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 An alt tag is actually not meant to display as a tooltip. This is actually the TITLE="" tag. MS just decided to display ALT tags as tooltips instead of actualyl following the W3C standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 An ALT tag is supposed to display in case of a red X/image not loading isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I think it is a remains from the days when there were text-only browsers, displaying the ALT text instead of the image.Testing... Obviously, I cannot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 You don't have this, do you?I know your above question was really meant for pwillener but as we are both NP subscribers our screen layout should be the same. So here's what I see on mine: As you can see I don't have the HTML options like yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have noted that Craig has paid several visits to the forum. It looks very much as though he intends that we will not get the old smilies back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 dadyassa, I have compared my screenshot with yours and I would just like to say that I am glad that I have some of the old smileys to post on the forum B) The only downside is that every new smiley posted on the forum comes out as text but that's a small price to pay :rolleyes: I have noted that Craig has paid several visits to the forum. It looks very much as though he intends that we will not get the old smilies back.I have noticed this as well and I agree it looks like we are stuck with them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 No, me neither. Nor do I have the nice smilies you have. (but I can use the BBCode IMG tag and steal them from another forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I am busy putting the old ones back but it is time consuming.Thank you Nellie and welcome back :) As some forum members (albeit a few like Tony for example above) prefer the new smiley's then why not give everyone the option of what smileys they prefer? For example by having the Skin selector Planet 15 mode on the old smileys and Planet 17 on the new smileys? Then everyone is happy and members can choose what mode to run on!Just a suggestion! :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Welcome back. Great news about the smilies. How did you enjoy the lakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I was seeing the old ones, but they've all disappeared and I have the horrible new ones! :Cool Crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joysness Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Try the other skin..Seems they changed around today. 17 shows old ones and 15 shows new ones, at least for me. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I won't post on this topic anymore as my hopes have been realised and we are now able to use the old type smileys again! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
