That is a tooltip when you hover over the user it will show their username. If you stop hovering it will go away.

This may be possible, I'd have to look into it. However, keep in mind that, unless you've removed the username column on your Member's page, members will still be able to see that "Anonymous" is still the admin account. Also, anyone can run a user search on a posting page (via the Insert User Link button) and it'll reveal the username of "Anonymous".

So the real question is, is it really worth the effort to remove a tooltip when there are easy ways to get around it? It's up to you, just thought you should know that you're not really going to be hiding who "Anonymous" is just by removing the tooltip.

and yes i did remove the username column on the member page
and i also changed the admin name in the profile it now says Anonymoes
so i need the tool tip to be gone to

Easiest would probably be to create a pointer-events:none CSS rule to target the user link (I assume you want to target a specific user rather than every user on the forum)

/* Make user-1 link sinfully unclickable with no jHover */
.user-link.user-1 {
pointer-events:none;
}

You're welcome

Just a word of caution regarding the use of this and it interfering with the ability to @tag someone on the forum. There's a proboards script that allows you to hold the ALT key (some browsers also require SHIFT in tandem) and click on a username to easily put their tag in the reply box but this will most likely defeat that script since you effectively cannot click on the username link. You also just tagged me as @chris but a quick hover would have revealed that is not my username and that feature is also disabled with the use of this CSS rule. If that is the intent then all the better but just note that if used too broadly you will be affecting a feature of convenience for your forum members.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, as I am not always able to get online everyday. It looks like Chris beat me - which is certainly fine, as his solution is a LOT more elegant and simpler than what I came up with.

Thanks, Chris!

Just to note, going to "Anonymous'" profile page will still show admin as the username - since usernames cannot be changed once registered.
