When a profile name is too long, you truncate the name with "..." and the rest of the name isn't visible.

Suggestion: When you truncate the name, put the full name in the MOUSE OVER / Alternate Text. This way, when someone hovers over the name, the full name will be displayed. In fact, it doesn't have to be only when the "..." is shown, the MouseOver Text can be all the time.

UPDATED: This MouseOver text is happening on the Upcoming Birthdays, but doesn't seem to happen on the Profile Updates

Just my opinion. Smile But yea, on truncated names I think it makes very good sense, will add this, thank you.

This MouseOver text is happening on the Upcoming Birthdays (EVEN IF IT IS NOT TRUNCATED), but doesn't seem to happen on the Profile Updates

Yep, we'll do the same thing on the Profile Updates box. I was changing my response but you're so quick you got your next response entered before my first response was changed. Smile I realized there's a delay before the alt popup, so it's really not annoying having it on all of the names. You really have to stop on a name for a second to see the popup -- I'm good with having it apply to everything.

When doing a Classmate Profiles, viewing classmate photos, for a really long name, there is no mouse-over text. The name gets truncated on this page, but on the page where not viewing the photos, the name is not truncated.

Kyle,

The name is truncated on when displaying yearbook photos is displayed because there are 3 columns and less room than when the classmate list w/o photos is displayed as 2 columns.

I've added the full name 'hint' to the links when viewing with photos.

Dave
