I know I found the fix for this once upon a time here but I can't find it now.

What do I need to do to keep the fancy tooltip from covering up the links in IE?

I am not 100% sure on this one myself. You can't really move the tooltips unfortunately, and I know there are some issues with tooltips + IE + Windows 8, but as far as I was aware the other issues were slightly different (could be wrong). As far as I know the issue only affects IE11, and I believe a fix may be in the works hopefully for the next update.

If the tooltips are unusable for your current setup you can disable them pretty easily as a temporary fix. Just open your theme folder, locate the line:

define(‘SP_TOOLTIPS’, true);

And change 'true' to 'false'. Doing this will fall back on the browsers default tooltips, which aren't fancy, but they work.

If you don't want to disable, we will probably have to wait for a second opinion on this one!

Thanks for that - I actually did find that but when I checked it on the site if fixed a few months ago that setting hadn't been changed. So evidently I found another fix in the past. But your suggestion worked perfectly.
