Nice titles!

Implemented Nice titles this evening. Let your mouse hover over the links to check it out!
Update Feb. 20, 2003: Turned Nice titles off. The lack of a delay, that Joshua commented about, was driving me crazy.

    I might think about using them if they were delayed by about one second. Tooltips don’t appear that fast, why should nicetitles?

    Okay, I’m dumb. We need to upload those libraries to our site, not just include that text, right?
