As I recall, the hover popped up a small box with the full name. I don't recall that it did anything in a text entry box, just when viewing, but I could be wrong. While we're asking for things, how about getting rid of the weird shift / shading that appears for a moment when bringing up a new page?...

Re: Annoucement: Airliners.net has been aquired by VerticalScope

Welcome! Onwards and upwards! It sounds like VerticalScope has experience with other similar hobbyist sites, which is good. I don't perceive any major catastrophes with a.net UI or otherwise; the rework last year went initially badly but I think the new site actually does work. That doesn't mean th...

Hi Jeff, One thing I've been asking for (this is the third time) is for more watermark placements, like the old site had. The new site only allows 3 vertical positions for the watermark - top, middle and bottom. And the middle usually goes right through the fuselage of the aircraft, making top and ...
