This kind of got lost and forgotten in a deluge of newer posts, so I'll put it here as well..
Can the Quick Modify button be given an alt text?  Since http omni is blocked here at school the button doesn't load unless it's in the cache..I keep thinking it's working then it disappears x.x
The vote up/down buttons have this, but the quick modify doesn't :\

We need to be able to see what posts get rated of ours!
I'm not worried about SOPA creating censorship, that will not stand for long. I'm worried that they'll succeed in stopping piracy!

You know, something with that. Can't we just put in code in the function that runs for the rating to get the info of the post it's on then save that to a location for the user to see later?

(If you can understand that, you are a god. If not, sorry I'm bad at explaining things) :P

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

It's not that it would be hard, but more the fact that figuring out where's the post rating code to copy into that section of the board then managing to do it successfully will take time, which is an issue when most admins are busy with school and work or do not know how to do it.

Also Boot2490 usually when one of your post gets rated down it's often a recent one, from what I've noticed. While being able to see which one of your post got rated down, it is your job to be careful about what you post on the forums to prevent downratings. For example your post above is kinda narrow-minded, considering we run this forum without getting paid and have a life outside Omnimaga. We are not at your mercy here. A few other hints of downratings is one of the post you got criticised on in the cyberbullying thread and some older ones in the Elimination thread.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I would just always hear people say it's impossible or requires a SMF mod, but overall to anyone who has the knowledge and time it would actually be quite simple to make a workaround like that.

Usually it's easy to figure out which posts were downrated, but substantially harder to see which were uprated. Which is what I'm personally interested in.

I also want to see where I keep getting rated up. I have plus two or three now.

Hmm alt text would definitively be a good idea. For the thumbs up/down icons I guess "Like" and "Dislike" would work as alt text, although I'm unsure if tghis requires modifying the code.

Well, atm it says
Quote from: thingy
0 Vote Down Vote Up
With "vote down" and "vote up" being links, and says "Voted up" when voted up and vice-versa.
So it's not just part of the image or something?

Oh ok so it has an alt text already. It's part of the HTML code. I think in the IMG tag there's the alt or title option.

Code: (page source) [Select]
<img src="/Themes/omnimaga4/images/icons/modify_inline.gif" alt="" align="right" [...]Maybe all that has to be done is something after alt= ;D

I thought about a feature that could be useful: a music/sound player. As it can mean anything I'll explain exactly what I mean.
When we make a screenshot, we can attach it here and people can see it, or host it anywhere and [img] it so people see it.
When we make a video, we can host it on youtube and [youtube] it so people see it.
But when we make a music/sound/record/anything-like-that, we attach it to a post and the only way to listen to it is to download.
So my idea would be to make a music/sound/etc player integrated to the website, so we can listen to the posted music/etc that people host here.
That would be great if possible :D (but sounds impossible -.-°)

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Good idea! And I know it's possible, I saw it on some other forum.
