Category membership popup is really hard to understand

The page that lists category membership has a statistics popup. It displays icons which can be understood if you hover over it on desktop. Not mobile. With the alt tags it is already a little hard to understand. Without it, its incomprehensible. None of my members has a clue what it should mean.
It think its much better to use text instead of icons here. Especially since there is a popup which can be used to show more.
I think this page layout should be easier to understand and look more familiar to the forum user.

There seems to be a bug with the popup btw. Once it is clicked the cursor changes to a hand no matter where it is on the page.

The statistics column, which appears on every content list page, uses icons instead of text for multiple reasons:
- to keep the width similar to the Replies / Views column width in thread listings
- text in each statistics cell was unnecessarily repetitive
- with the text in the cell, there was a waste of horizontal space

I agree that placing the text in the popup may increase clarity, but I would not classify this as a bug. I have reclassified this as an improvement request.

There is no bug with the popup creating a hand cursor that persists everywhere on the page. This is necessary for any popup to work correctly on iOS devices. Without it, it is impossible to close popups on iOS.

Marked this as completed in the next release.

In the next release:
- The stats column is always clickable, even if there is no overflow, allowing the user to open the popup, EXCEPT under XenForo 2.x, where the content list shows text labels anyway.
- The popup uses the text version of the stat label, instead of an icon.
