since it would essentially be an "Alt" tag added to a name - Could we add Nation titles to the name posted ?

That way if I moused over "Humor Troll" in the thread - the alt tag would read my nations full title?

It's minor - But I think it would be fun to see everyones full titles without having to load their nations?

Why would that really be necessary?

Afterthought edit:

If you really want to see someone's full title, then they can put it in their signature. Viewing signatures is an option in your profile.

Who said it was necessary?

I said "Minor" and "Fun".

//Hands Hersfold an icepack -

You might want to see a doctor - I think that's fin sticking out of your ear..

I don't think vB can do that.

it ignores simple HTML?

All it would be is adding {alt = "the title"}

Actually, it's not alt, it's title.

Alt is for browsers that can't display graphics or for people with screen readers. ALTernative text.

Title is the ACTUAL thing that should be popped-up, but IE's non-use of the World Wide Web Consortium's standards made those not in the know use ALT.

In example, if you hover over a title of a thread, the text of the first post should pop up, and that's a title, not an alt. There's no need to supply alternitive text for text.

"Alt" is commonly used to describe images, in fact it's a standard way to mark images for lynx - that much you're right on.

I always found it stupidly redundant to use both when they both perform the same action - and being a lazy programmer - I'd rather type three letters than five when programming.

I liken using both to purists who insist on vacuum tubes over digital - You can be a purist and pay the cost - Me? I'm ripping to mp3 anyway - and will spend my cost somewhere else..
