You may be familiar with them from WoW but if you don't know what they are, basically.. Say you wanted to link a piece of armour, weapon, consumable or whatever on the forums. Currently you could do it like this;
1. http://www.torhead.com/item/4NKihz3
2. [ GenoHaradan Agent's Rifle ]
3. [ GenoHaradan Agent's Rifle ]
Third one looks the best and it displays the rifle's quality colour but for all 3 you have to click them and go off-site to see what they actually are.
Having tooltip support would make this possible;
I did think yesterday when I was spending quite a bit of my time exploring the crafting system that one such use for this would be for some of us to keep a thread going listing some of the things we can make. Medpacs, weapons, mods or whatever. Making a list like that when you'd have to open a new tab for each individual item to see the info would be a pain but with tooltips extremely useful. This is just one idea though which we could do later on when we can craft more stuff.
Do any of you guys think they'd be useful for us? and can you see yourself using them if they were available?.
Whilst I personally can imagine myself getting some use out of these I wouldn't want to see them added just because of me, and if nobody else is interested that's cool . However if there's a chance they'll benefit several others here and they'll actually get used they'd be quite nice to have imo.
They're very simple to use too. All you do is link directly to the item you want the tooltip popup to appear on and wrap the item names text in the colour code needed. (Which I'd post a little tutorial on if these go ahead with all the colours).
So for the [ Heavy Enforcer ] rifle in the image it's just;
Code: Select all

So, thoughts?
