    Brought this up after one of the recent site redesigns, but noticed today its still happening.

    When you hover your mouse over the envelope to the left of a thread on a forum page it used to show how many posts you had on a thread, and I think how recently you last posted on it.

    Although since the redesign, it displays one of the above, or a combination of two of them.

    Using Firefox, on Windows Vista.

    I'm getting the [dots] [hot] etc.

    Here is the HTML:

    <img src="http://b-static.net/vbulletin/images/statusicon/thread_dot_hot_new.png&quot; id="thread_statusicon_2056955066" alt="You have 114 post(s) in this thread, last 03-04-2014" border="" title="[Dots] [Hot] [New]"/>

    The title tag is the correct one to show, so that's why you see the [Dots] etc.

    Not sure if picking you up correctly, but I cant even see the HTML when I hover the mouse, and theres nothing to click on.

    Has any of the Admin or site support had a look into this, as was a useful feature if itwas a thread you were following.

    I think it will depend on the browser. Some show (technically incorrectly AFAIK) the alt text when you hover over an image, but it's not supposed to be used as a "tooltip", just displayed when the image isn't.

    I would say that the alt and title text should be swapped in this case?
