I've noticed that, when making a new post (something I do very frequently) the black "post" and "preview" buttons both provide extra, more in depth directions when you place your mouse in front of them:
Post- "OK, post it" Preview- "Preview before posting"
These extra directions are essential to the smooth operation of XLT, and a lot of people would likely be clueless without them.
My suggestion is to make such extra directions for the "lazy link" button, as it currently has none. Thinking of all the confusion this lack is likely causing is dizzying.
It should be something that, shortly and sweetly, drives home the main function of that particular button, in the same way that has been done for the other buttons so elegantly already.
Here are some suggestions: "OK, make a lazy link" "Create a link lazily"
These are only suggestions, mind you, and I don't intend to imply that they would be better than what you can come up with, as they surely wouldn't be.
Thank you for your time.
Yours, w M w

Accompanied by your avatar, it looks like you're singing an excerpt from that famous East European Polka song, Clueless Jerk Polka.
wMw once more your intense thought processes and long periods of Pondering have come up trumps.

Yes, yes! I knew the xltronic team could come up with something better like that. That would be perfect. Please implement it immediately.

Even the Browse... button has its own pop-up ! I'm beginning to feel sorry for old lazy link, because not only doesn't it have a pop-up, it also has no capital letters, unlike the others!

I noticed the capital letter problem too, but I didn't want to burden them with so many technical problems all at once. You did bring the browse button to my attention. It's extra detailed description is particularly helpful.

"New Topic" and "Find" don't have any either, but the latter is part of a search engine that is broken altogether. How come you drop the second L when you fuse "all" & "together"?

That would be awesome. It also has to be a secret link somewhere. The extra text should say something like "eek, you found me!" and it should lead to some place totally amazing.
