    They're a part of your browser settings, not something boards can change. Look up "disable tooltips" for whatever browser you use. it's not always possible afaik.
    For firefox, i think you need to use a Greasemonkey script, not sure about other browsers

    but boards.ie controls what goes into them, do they have to be so massive?

    Hold on, how big are they? They only show the first line of the Thread so are usually very small.

    1 Inch high, 3 Inchs long would be the max generally.

    What Browser are you using?

    Why do you want to disable them?

    they are several lines in size, made even bigger by accessibility software, meaning they take up the whole screen.

    This is what you're talking about, right?

    The issue's come up before but the devs are said that there's nothing they can do about it :/

    Unfortunately Roland is correct. There is no way to disable them.

    Sorry about that.

    Thread closed.
