Implement wowhead item tooltips/mouseovers

[mudfish]

I'm actually kind of surprised this isn't already up and running. Basically, if you don't already know what I'm talking about, they are tooltips that will show up where your cursor is that looks exactly like it would if you put your mouse over it ingame. Whenever someone is linking to wowhead, of course.

It doesn't seem like much of any hassle to put in and I think it will improve everyone's experience here at MMOwned.

Wowhead Tooltips: FAQ & Guides - Site Feedback - Wowhead Forums

EDIT: With so many people linking to wowhead, It will make even those who 'can't form a paragraph', thread's look great.

I think it was suggested before, and I stepped in for it.


This is a good idea. I'm also surprised why it still isn't installed!

vBulletin has hundreds upon hundreds of plug-ins and products to make forums more customized. However, most of these are either pointless, to heavy to work with high traffic forums, or just plain stupid. Some of these mods include: WoWHead Tooltips, XBox Live account mods, announcement banners, random skin mods, and the like. I'll explain a bit on the WoWHead Tooltips, and why they're a bad idea, not only for MMOwned and FPSOwned, but for the users of the site as well. Each tooltip the mod creates, needs to download the data from another site, and pull the info from the local database. Thats 1-4 queries, and up to 80kb extra data per page, per tooltip. That's a lot of server load, and bandwith for such a simple thing, when you can easily just go to WoWHead and search for it there. To add to that, it's only for WoW, not all MMOs. You wouldn't be able to use [item]Some Random AoC Item[/item] would you?
