Hi, i just wondered if anyone knows how to get rid of the pop up box (which contains the first post) that appears when you run your mouse over a thread title.
I know I am asking for the reply 'don't run your mouse over the thread title!' but I find it really annoying and couldn't find it under edit options.
Thanks muchly if anyone know the answer and can help!

If you are using Firefox, then I think you can.......
Enter about:config in the address bar.
Find the option browser.chrome.toolbar_tips
Set that to false.
Seems to work.
Not sure what other functionality that might also disable though?Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Well, from a quick 'Google', all I can find is a lot of people complaining that they also can't turn off various tooltips in Chrome?
So I don't think the option exists.
I like Chrome, and would use it as my main browser if I could, but it's just this sort of lack of ways for the user to tweak it that keeps me with Firefox for now.
