This is all very minor I'm sure, but it struck me as weird.
If you access the first topic in a forum (same holds for last), with Prev/Next Topic enabled, then you get an icon for Next Topic to the right of the text Topic in the header of the table showing all the topics. There's no icon to the left of Topic, because there is no previous topic of course (this one being the first). Instead there is a blank icon, icon_blank.gif, which you don't see, but if you move your mouse over it you get the alt text "Previous Topic". It's around line 834 of topic.asp. Why hasn't the alt text been left empty? Is there any reason for this, or is it just an oversight?
Cheers,
Eric.

alt=""Previous Topic""
fixed in v3.4 |

Just being fastidious on a minor point, but I think it would be better to remove just the text "Previous Topic", and leave in a blank alt tag as follows.
alt=""""
The Accessibility Guidelines of the W3C prescribe that functional images should have a meaningful alt text, and non-functional images should have an empty alt tag. This helps marks these images, such as filler blanks, for special-purpose browsers.
Mind you, the forum is a long way from W3C Accessibility compliance. This would be a mere drop in the ocean.
Cheers,
Eric.
