Thanks,

OK. I might change them back if anyone else wants the images (medal and fancy knot) for staff and advisors back.
I'm OK either way, and don't have strong feelings either way, so let's see if anyone else has a feeling or opinion about this.
Thanks.
I am not a big fan of a coffee cup icon as an indication that a poster is an advisor, moderator, or administrator. (I realize that the tag line under the user's name
usually gives the poster's position in the hierarchy, but that isn't true if the poster has used bits to pay for a personalized tag line.)

- When I click on the poster's name in the upper left corner of a post, I believe I used to get a drop down menu of things I could do like view all posts by that user, visit that user's profile, etc.; now clicking on the poster's name is a no-op. Please reinstate the old behavior.
- When I hover over the new Thanks icon in the lower left corner of a post, there is no text indicating what that icon does. Please add something like "Give thanks to the user who submitted this post".
- When I hover over the new edit/delete post icon in the lower right corner of a post, I see the text "Edit/Delete Unix or Linux Message". To me, that sounds like it will allow me to edit or delete a mail message in my UNIX and Linux Forum mailbox. Consider changing the text to something like "Edit or Delete this post".
- When I hover over the new quick reply icon in the lower right corner of a post, I see the text "Quick reply to Unix / Linux message". To me, that sounds like it will allow me to reply to a mail message in my UNIX and Linux Forum mailbox. Consider changing the text to something like "Reply to this thread without quoting any posts".
- I never understood how multi-quote was supposed to work, but after playing around with it for about an hour this afternoon I think I have figured it out (although there is some inconsistent behavior if I select and deselect some posts for multi-quoting without actually posting a reply). Consider changing the text you see when you hover over the new multi-quote icon in the lower right corner of a post from "Multi-Quote Unix/Linux Message" to something like "Add this post to the list of posts to be Multi-Quoted" (when the post has not been selected) and "Remove this post from list of posts to be Multi-Quoted" (when the post has been selected).
- When I hover over the new quote reply icon in the lower right corner of a post I see the text "Unix or Linux Quote Reply". Consider making this a little bit clearer for new (and experienced) users by changing the text to something like "Quote this post and any posts selected for Multi-Quoting in a Reply to this thread".
I think I have fixed this (and all your other requests).
Thanks again for the comments and details.
Please confirm all are fixed when you get a change, or let me know if something needs adjusting
Item 1 is mostly fixed. When I click on a poster's name, it now goes to the poster's public profile. But, when I hover over the poster's name, there is no text indicating what will happen if I click while I'm there. Please display text similar to "Go to
user name's public profile" when I hover over the poster's name.
Item 2 is fixed.
Item 3 is fixed.
Item 4 is partially fixed. When I hover over the quick reply icon, it now says "Quick Reply to Post without Quoting
this Post" which leaves the impression that although this post won't be quoted, other posts selected with the Multi-Quote icon will be quoted. Please change the text displayed when hovering over this icon to "Quick Reply to Post without Quoting
any Post".
Item 5 is fixed.
Item 6 is partially fixed. The text displayed when I hover over the new Quote icon is "Quote this Post and Reply". That text gives no indication that posts in this thread that are selected for Multi-Quoting will also be quoted in the reply. Please change this text to something like "Quote this Post
and any Posts selected for Multi-Quoting and Reply".
I have found a few more items, but I'm going to go ahead and post this now to avoid further delays while I work out wording for the issues I've found and suggestions on how to fix them.
