Usually when I place a mouse pointer on an AV, I will see their name in a small popup window. For some reason, that has stopped. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a setting for this? :confused:

I wish it were there, I have no idea why it just stopped working. I have searched thru the settings under preferences with no luck, so far.

I think its in the "View" pull down menu, there is a setting you can toggle on and off for it.

That's it ArchTx, thanks.

The shortcut is close to the shortcut for setting the sun to noon, and I probably hit it by mistake. Ctrl-Shift-Y sets noon, Ctrl-Shift-T toggles Show Tips in Hover Tips

Brenda, I can see the avatar names, but I have to zoom the camera in when they are far away, but with Show Tips toggled, just placing the mouse cursor on them shows their name.
