Tips and/or tags in my play page


When I move the pointer of the mouse around in my play page, there appears a sort of box telling (translating from Englih to Spanish) me what I am pointing at.

It is quite annoying, especially when you are thinking staring at the board.

Is there a way, that any of you might know, of eliminating such tips?
Is it a Win issue or is it a Chess On the Web issue?

In any event Administrator,, excuse me if I am using the wrong site to put this thread.

Thanks

Thanks Stoney for your attention.

For sure the matter has to do with WinXP or Internet, and not with Chess On The Web, but, since you are managing this server, it may be worth your opinion. (I have WinXP English version)

Most of the boxes give the Spanish translation for the word I am pointing.

In the main page
--If you point at the chess king figures on top the box it will read “Black King” or “White King”
--If you point at any of the titles. . . “My profile” “My games”, it will translate those words to Spanish
--If you point at the name of a player (on the chess board to the right up) it will show the ranking of that player
--if you point at the board it will read “Click to enlarge” (OK in this case: it is a help tip)

In the play page
--Translates almost everything, some time the box is about 2 x 2 inches
--If you point at the command bottoms of the board it will explain its function. . . ok in this case.
--If you point at the name of a player it will show the ranking of that player

And so forth. . .

As of now I have only one game, #50729, with Dukeforchess

And, again thanks for your attention.

The examples you give can be split into two groups.

1) Titles displayed by the website
These are the names of various images (i.e. "Black King" or "White King"), information (i.e. player's ranking), and instructions (i.e. "Click to enlarge"). These are all build into the webpage on purpose to help the players.

2) Translations
Where you see translations, that is something either Windows or your browser is doing and is not related to Chess On The Web website.

Hope this helps.
