just wondering if anyone has encountered (and knows how to fix) an issue i am having
all my mouse-over macros aren't showing the tool-tips for the spells they cast. (i like to see the spell info occasionally and don't like to have to open the spell book to see a tool-tip.
they instead show a tool-tip with just the name of the macro, ie my Rejuv mouse-over macro is named Rj so that is all i see in its tip.

Also, is 'detailed tooltip' checked in your interface settings? Pretty sure just showing the spell name is default behavior for the 'basic' tooltips.

Yeah, make sure the first line in your macro is
#showtooltip
The default tooltip for all macros is the name of the macro only.

Do you REALLY think i wouldn't HAVE it as that, seeing as the TITLE of this post is #Showtooltip? That is one of the FIRST things a macro user learns.
here is an example
#Showtooltip
/cast Rejuvenation; Rejuvenation

under what section? ive browsed through and didnt see any check for anything like that

Never underestimate the possible simplicity of the problem. What if, for example, you misspelled "showtooltip"?
For example, your example won't work, because "Showtooltip" is differerent from "showtooltip" (Don't capitalize it)

So was it the capitalization problem? Are you too embarrassed to post "whoops! My bad!"?

That it was, and no i'm not. It wasn't that big of an error. I've just been busy with work and what little sleep and getting my perky pug pet :D

You should be embarrassed. You yelled at people who pointed out that might be it, yet you said you would not do such a noob error.

I did not yell. i used some caps for emphasis, pardon me for not taking the time to use . and if i can remember correctly, i said that "i wouldn't HAVE it as that, seeing as the TITLE of this post is #Showtooltip? ".
I was incredulous that they would see that as the title and not realize i knew it was #showtooltip. I never said that i wouldn't make something as simple as a capitalization error.
yelling is hitting caps and leaving it on. Using it on some words is not. If you would prefer i can go back and replace the caps with bolds. Cause thats the way i meant it.
*was in a rush to make all my mouse-over macros, so i could learn healing with them. I had previously just used basic spells and Grid targeting. Now i mouse-over grid and cast that way

no, there was no ridicule. that's the whole problem with inferring tone and whatnot from text. you can't hear my tone and realize i'm not being angry or insulting at all.
