Literal nothing, hmm. Yup, that's a problem.
As far as coming up with wordlets, I'm sure we'd all be glad to offer suggestions if you're really stuck! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> 'Sides, if you can name a field pntf, I'd think anything would be okay for the wordlet. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> As far as the tag itself, my experience is that it usually isn't necessary to be overly wordy, you're mainly just trying to give people a *clue* what the graphic is for, not an in depth explanation with all its nuances.

But ya got me on the icons that have no real purpose. You mean, someone spent all that time to come up with a graphic, and you guys just randomly placed them on the page?
{/silly}
Seriously, though, Steven_M posted that he had hacked his UBB to do it, maybe he'd consider sharing with you to save some development time?
Wow, over a year has past since I last brought this up. During this time I resorted to hacking to bring this functionality to my community. But, unfortunately 6.2 introduced new javascript for displaying the icons that represent new/old/hot/closed topics and I cannot wrap my head around how to edit that new script to add the alternative text to those icons.
Come on Charles, please modify the JS and add wordlets for New, New/Closed, New/Hot, Old, Old/Closed, etc. For something that is so important it seems to be very easy to add.
