Have a look at the following piece of code which is a snapshot of the end an existing topic row:

```plaintext
<td class="num posts-map posts heatmap-" title="This topic has 0 replies">
  <a href="" class="posts-map badge-posts heatmap-"><span class="number" title="0">0</span></a>
</td>
<td class="num views "><span class="number" title="this topic has been viewed 6 times">6</span></td>
<td class="num age activity" title="First post: August 11, 2016 5:27pm
Last post: August 11, 2016 5:32pm">
  <a href="/t/keyboard-shortcuts-for-tracking-topics-not-working/48489/1"><span class="relative-date" data-time="1470904343596" data-format="tiny">20m</span></a>
</td>

```

- the _Replies_ column has 2 titles: on the cell **and** on the span;
- the _Views_ column has a title on the span element;
- the _Activity_ column has a title on the cell.

Maybe the distinction between a cell with a link and one without is wanted, but not two overlapping titles I guess. 🙂

Thank you! 😉

P.S.: these are details, but details matter.

> Unsurprisingly, I’m not much given to trying to access tooltips. However, after our recent upgrade to latest, I was trying to check what information was being displayed in the redesigned message pages - which have no column headings - and attempted to use the tooltips. After some considerable time of carefully aiming my mouse at the number and seeing a tooltip which displays only that same number, I eventually discovered by accident that I needed to aim away from the number to get the actual i…

BTW: I think it’s weird that there is a non-existent `heatmap-` class applied when there are 0 replies.
