Default New Skill Icons Have No Description

Hey, can anyone help me with this? The new skill icons (on this forum) just give me a question mark when I move my cursor over them, the descriptions won't show. Then yesterday the description worked once for me, but later it stopped working again. Can anyone tell me how I can fix it? Thanks.

lol, i dont have any advice for you, but it is pretty fun to think that anet doesn't even know what the skill does

when you move ur mouse over it it should say something more like "this skill does whatever the hell you want it to until you log out."

I don't know exactly what causes that, Sir T, but it happens to me occasionally. I see the skill icons fine at home on my whizzy Vista with Firefox, but when I'm at work I have to suffer the indignity of IE6 running on Windows NT4 - the icons frequently show just the question mark, but it usually fixes itself after a while. It's as if the old system takes a long time to extract the skill data.

I seem to recall you have a pretty decent system, but I could be wrong...

Fairly decent, though not that good. I have a mid-high endish Dell Inspiron 6000 XP. I use IE7, could that be the problem?

Question for Site Feedback, rather then here.

Anyway, I don't know why that would happen. I was thinking along the lines of problems with your browser when you and Snograt posted that you were using IE. Try updating your browser(or switching to Firefox already).

Check your JavaScript settings.

Test with icon and text:
[Hundred Blades]
[[Hundred Blades]

Here's a sample of what all is referenced for GWBBCode.

HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
	if (!GWBBCODE_HOOK)
	{
		var GWBBCODE_HOOK = true;
		var gwbb_dynamic_url = 'gwbbcode';
		/* Include the overDiv div */
		var overdiv_div = document.createElement('div');
		overdiv_div.id = 'overDiv';
		document.body.insertBefore(overdiv_div, document.body.firstChild);
		/* Include the send iframe for the pickup feature */
		var send_frame = document.createElement('iframe');
		send_frame.id = 'send';
		send_frame.style.display = 'none';
		send_frame.src = 'about<b></b>:blank';
		document.body.insertBefore(send_frame, document.body.firstChild);
		/* Include the gwbbcode.css */
		var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
		var cssNode = document.createElement('link');
		cssNode.type = 'text/css';
		cssNode.rel = 'stylesheet';
		cssNode.href = 'gwbbcode/gwbbcode.css';
		cssNode.media = 'screen';
		headID.appendChild(cssNode);
		/* Include overlib.js */
		var include_overlib = document.createElement('script');
		include_overlib.type = 'text/javascript';
		include_overlib.src = 'gwbbcode/overlib.js';
		document.body.insertBefore(include_overlib, document.body.firstChild);
		/* Include gwbbcode.js */
		var include_gwbbcode = document.createElement('script');   include_gwbbcode.type = 'text/javascript';
		include_gwbbcode.src = 'gwbbcode/gwbbcode.js';
		document.body.insertBefore(include_gwbbcode, document.body.firstChild);
	}
</script>

Well, IE7 is the latest IE (newer than Firefox). I have Firefox, I just don't use it. Is it better than IE7?

Edit: yeah, it works on Firefox.

You will find that Firefox is "newer" than the latest IE, because Mozilla aren't scared to release their betas to the general public. FF gets updated regularly, IE is kept alive with patches - updated versions seem to be kept back for the launch of a new OS. Windows 7 is on the horizon...

There are arguments on both sides but, in general, Firefox IS better. IE is useful for one purpose - accessing Windows Update for people without automatic updates.
