Y’know them. The “Browse Topics in [Category]” and “Browse the Thread [title]” and similar bubbles that pop up when you hover over something. They seem a bit needless, but I can’t quite figure out where to disable them.

Hey Domochevsky,

You can turn tooltips off through your themes spFunctions.php in the templates folder. Using default theme for example, just find the line

if (!defined('SP_TOOLTIPS')) define('SP_TOOLTIPS', true);

and change the last argument to ‘false’.

if (!defined('SP_TOOLTIPS')) define('SP_TOOLTIPS', false);

As always, we recommend that this is done in a child theme so you don’t loose the change when updating.

No problem, also – forgot to add, it’s probably best to comment out the line rather than removing it so you can easily put it back later if you need to.
