There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Started conversation Apr 4, 2006
Anyone know how to switch them off? When my cursor is over a link, an alt text box opens saying 'Address: [insert full url here]' on a yellowish background. Some of those urls - especially on shopping sites - can be pretty damn long, hundreds of characters in some cases, and they can obscure a good deal of content on the page.
I don't need them or want them, and although I've looked in the preferences I can't find a way to turn them off. Is there a setting I can access through the address bar?

They're called 'tooltips'! I should have known. What a muppet. Boy do I feel stoopid. Them Opera developers sure got one over on me there didn't they!
Thanks Ste
