alt="$thread[icontitle]" : Question

[MRGTB]

I've installed a few mods, and now I'm finding on my portal page when I hover my mouse over both my News and Thread icons posted there. The ALT message being shown is now a path name like this "$thread[icontitle]" instead of a message for some strange reason.

What changes do I need to make in my portal.php file to fix this problem. I have done a search in the file and found therfe are two ALT titles entries for both News Icons and Thread icons. Which I have listed below.

Thread:
alt="$thread[icontitle]">';
alt="'.$thread[icontitle].'">';

News:
alt="$news[icontitle]">';
alt="'.$news[icontitle].'">';
