Suggestion: delete question marks at top of columns to left of X's used to close panels
At the top of tracker you have question marks which tell you the definition of Current, Backlog and Icebox (for ex).
I often find myself mousing over these by accident when I'm trying to close a panel. It gets pretty annoying.
Those question marks are useful when you first start using Tracker, but after you know how to use tracker they are not helpful. Do they deserve that real estate?
If you need to define the columns you could show the tooltips when you mouse over the words themselves.
Or, if you must keep the question marks, maybe you can re-orient the tooltip so it doesn't cover up the X.

Inappropriate?Hi Heidi,
Do you dislike the question marks because of the way they look, the fly-overs they produce when you inadvertently mouse over them or is it the information in the flyover?
I'm not a huge fan of them either, but they are a nice way for us to provide contextual information.
Would you prefer to have a preference for turning them off?
Do you think it would be better for everybody if they were just gone? ..and if so, where do you think the "what's this" information should go?
Thanks,

Inappropriate?It may also be that the fly-overs appear too quickly, often when you're just moving the mouse around the page. We'll try increasing the fly-over delay somewhat in the next release.

Inappropriate?Hi - Just got back from vacation. I like the way the question marks look, that's not it. I don't like accidentally mousing over them and then having the pop up message cover up the X that I was trying to push. So that was the annoyance.
I've heard other people around here voice annoyance at the fly-overs in general. It would be a nice feature to be able to turn those off via a setting. But it's not high priority in my opinion. (Getting stats is more important!)
I like the fly-overs that show you the description of a story. That saves me time from having to open up a story.
Changing the fly over delay as Dan suggested would be a great next step.
Thanks, Heidi -
Inappropriate?Hi Heidi...this morning's Tracker release included the increased flyover delay. Let us know what you think!

Inappropriate?I'm closing this issue as those particular question marks are no longer part of the site. And it was solved by adding a delay anyway :).
