Agreed, adding hovering tooltip for these entries would be a good addition to the forum's usability. Most times I don't click on the icons to find out what they are unless I absolutely have to. It's rare these days not to see hover tooltips for this kind of thing.

just a bump to remind folks of this great suggestion

posting pressures can quite often help in providing suggestions on solving issues such as leaks.

Good idea , will go back and add epr of 3 . I too find it easier to read equipment in text than deal with the pictures.

another bump for a great suggestion

posting pressures helps folks give better suggestions

what works at 10ml may not work for someone with pressures over 15.

Advice that works at low pressures may not work at high ones (and vice versa, of course.)

Knowing the pressure an advice-giver uses would make it easier for readers to determine whether the advice given
might work for them.

To add your pressure to your profile go to:

User Control Panel (just below the cpaptalk.com logo) > Profile > Edit Equipment > Additional Comments

and type away.

Thanks.

I agree that it is better to put your equipment in text in the user control panel, but just as an FYI, if you "mouse over" the picture of the poster's equipment, the name of the equipment shows up in your desktop tray at the bottom of your screen. So you don't have to click on the picture if you just want to see what they have.

Well so it does but I had to do it 4 times to find it.
Teeny tiny letters that I would never have noticed if I hadn't been looking for them since so far away from the image.
It would be super cool if the words were right next to the image but I know that isn't likely to happen.
Wanna take bets on how long it takes me to forget...
Over 4 years on this forum and I never noticed that little detail. Learn something new every day.
Thank you for point this out. I will try not to forget it but I can't promise anything.

Sorry for the off topic post, but we can use it for another bump...

Dave, great avatar there. Exactly what I feel like.

Ever eat puffer fish? In Japan they call it Fugu. Its so poisonous a special license is required for the chef's that prepare it. Even prepared properly, it will numb your lips and face....LOL
