I have just posted the below message on the "Feature Requests" board and wonder what others may think about it; and hopefully add support by repeating the request on the appropriate board.

>>>

"I have mentioned this request before, but find it more pertinent now, as you will see, when one has, say, multiple PDF documents attached to a person.

You can see an example of what I am talking about at:

https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=marrwatts&pid=954&bpid=954&bview=0&view=0&ccpid=954&rand=520690207

At the moment, you can tell what an item may represent by hovering the cursor over the icon, but it would make things much clearer and improve readability greatly if the Title assigned to each item was displayed along side the little icon."

Hi Ian, I do not see the point of this . As you mention , as soon as you Hover over the PDF Icon you see the TITLE, surely this is all that is needed.

This then does not clutter up the line with unnecessary TEXT.

The more LINKS that you have would make it look unsightly.

All the best

Hi Les,

Did you go to the sample page I listed in my message? From memory, about seven "Other Media" entries and a LOT if textual notes.

In its present form you are presented with seven little icons and have absolutely no idea what they represent without going over each one individually, waiting from the title to pop-up and then moving on, possibly needing to note down the title so you can go back to the correct one later. Very messy and easily remedied.

Even with seven items, the look of the notes would look so much better and more balanced.

Hi Ian, I understand what you mean.

At the outset if you look back on FORUM entries I complained to Tribal Pages that this would happen, as I thought it was completely STUPID to put ALL these Icons there as LINKS on the Name selected, as they would overcrowd it.

I pointed out that these could be used better with a HTML link to wherever the Member wanted, but as usual NO REPLY.

I copy my to wherever I want and DO NOT SELECT ADD TO NAME

Regards
