Description

Sorry if this has been suggested, couldn't see a relevant topic with a quick look.

As a player who's totally new to trading I find a lot of the abbreviations and shorthand to be confusing (and I know that abbreviations are discouraged for this reason, but almost everything is abbreviated anyway).

It would be great if common abbreviations were detected, similar to the way database entries are detected and hyperlinked. But instead of a link, a mouseover definition added. So, eg, "lf pgs": I hover over "lf" and see "Usually means: Looking For"; I hover over "pgs" and see "Usually means:
Perfect Gems
". Etc.

I realise that this might take a bit of work, but the string matching is already there for database entries, and it's just a matter of inserting <div class="tooltip"> and <span class="tooltiptext> tags instead of <a href> etc. The glossary entries can be contributed by users. 😊

It's not that simple and this is asking a bit much, sorry. Have a look on Google for common trading lingo - MrLlamaSC has a good video on it too.

If you really wanted, we could make a glossary topic and sticky it in the Price Check forum - but someone's got to compile the glossary :P

OP
Ah, darn, I was hoping it wouldn't be a difficult feature to implement!

I'll keep looking up the trading jargon as I need to, thanks for considering it and replying!
