I get tooltips here in IE6 - looks like the icons have an "alt" attribute which IE (at least) uses as a tooltip.
The HTML spec also includes a "title" attribute that is meant to be used to provide tooltip text - and this is not present on CC. Opera is usually more strict in its interpretation of the HTML spec - "alt" is meant to be displayed if/when the image is not shown (text browser or images turned off) so Opera is probably not showing a tooltip as there is no title and alt is not *officially* meant to be used as such.
Not sure if this is something that admin can modify easily but thought I'd add my two cents...
Ah, well spotted sir!
I like Opera and would prefer to carry on using it but it pees me off that it doesn't work properly on certain sites because they don't follow the rules. That sounds like a typical example. I'm not getting at Shaun, it's probably the original forum software to blame.
Websites should work properly in all browsers, but MS made such a crappy job of IE that everybody had to do silly things to get their sites to work properly for that.
It
really pees me off when people have actually put browser detection on their sites and refuse to work with Opera, declaring it to be an 'unsupported browser'. I will then make them 'unsupported websites' unless I absolutely have to use them. They know there is a problem, but can't be arsed to fix it. If Opera wasn't working because of its own bugs, fair enough, but to penalise it for sticking to the rules - aaaaaaargh!
