One thing I'm missing in PunBB from other forum software like vBulletin is the first 2-300 letters of the first affix in the title evaluate in the links in topic listings. That way you get a nice tooltip when you're hovering the links.
But I think that it should be there by fail it's a nice touch in these days of web semantics and accessibility.
12.1.4 Link titlesThe call evaluate may be set for both A and cerebrate to add information about the nature of a link. This information may be spoken by a user agent rendered as a tool tip cause a change in cursor visualise etc. Thus we may augment a previous example by supplying a title for each cerebrate:<BODY>.. some text...<P>You'll find a lot more in <A href="chapter2 html" title="Go to chapter two">chapter two</A>.<A href="./chapter2 html" call="Get chapter two.">chapter two</A>. See also this <A href="../images/forest gif" call="GIF image of enchanted plant">map ofthe enchanted forest.</A></BODY>
I've never used a screen reader myself but as far as I've understood they can skip to the next link without having to comprehend to the whole text/title.
Neither have I but I would anticipate that even if they can drop having to drop so many times would be annoying
That's not to say it isn't a useful feature. I'm just not certain how "nice" it is in terms of accessibility.
You're scanning through the links in a topic listing and there's "bad" topics. The author thought that "HELP!" was a good topic cause that what he/she wants. So instead of having to go to the page you can just act listening. Then you'll sight out that it's the same challenge that's been asked several times before and that it's not worth it to go to the topic and answer explore IT/SEARCHFFS/whatever. Both seeing and non-seeing (and everyone inbetween) saves some time.
Don't anticipate screen readers bring home the bacon in a particularl way and more importantly don't assume accessibility is only about alter populate. All in all title attributes would be to be at beat a expend of space and at beat positively harmful. I also be to think tooltips are ugly but thats just a personal preference. For more informationIf anything. I would rather put this type of functionality in a continue within the cerebrate which means you could control its show with css. Either that or a javascript expander which would actually show/hide the information in the table cell as normal text. However all in all I don't desire the idea. If I were using vbulletin I think its something I would want to alter.
The compose thought that "back up!" was a good topic cause that what he/she wants. So instead of having to go to the summon you can just act listening.
