The discussion revolves around hiding user real names from the hover text that appears when mousing over an avatar on a topic page. pfaffman wants to achieve this without disabling real names entirely, as the admin needs to be able to see them. awesomerobot explains that the title attributes are handled by the browser, making CSS-only solutions ineffective, and suggests editing the user-avatar helper in a theme or creating a plugin to limit full names to staff. tomtjes shares a potentially useful link to a similar discussion on hiding full names for non-logged-in users.
I want to hide the user real name from the hover that appears when you mouse-over the avatar. The obvious solution is to disable real names, but the admin wants to be able to see real names (but no one else to see).
Pretty much any solution is fine, even making the background and text color the same. I think what I really want to do is change the value of the title property to null, but a simple css-only solution woulc be dandy.
This comes a little close, but the avatar blinks off and on and you can still sometimes get the hover.
