Tooltips​


Have you ever been conflicted when writing in a more advanced forum because some readers might be lost by the jargon and acronyms? Example:

The best tool for a survey like that is a DPV.

Now imagine that sentence in a larger paragraph. You really don't want to distract your advanced readers by cluttering it up with something like this:

The best tool for a survey like that is a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle).

That is what ScubaBoard's Tooltip is intended for. Allowing the cursor to mouseover the blue text will pop a "Tooltip". Also notice that a mouseover of a link like in the previous sentence will show an underline and the tooltip below will not. Example:

The best tool for a survey like that is a DPV.​

Here is the BB-code syntax for this example:

[sbtooltip="Diver Propulsion Vehicle"]DPV[/sbtooltip]

Copy the syntax above, paste it into your post, and edit the RED text for your application.
