Minor suggestion for Signatures: Pop-up Text Box

So, if we were to limit the feature to a person's signature for now, one way to go about it is to use a... Oh I don't know... A [tip] tag. Placing [tip]text[/tip] inside an [img] tag would make the text appear when you hover the mouse over an image.

For example: My avatar/signature right now is Klavier Gavin, a character from the Ace Attorney series. In the signature area there is a picture of him, but nothing else.
I think the formatting would go something like this: [tip=This is Klavier Gavin][img]http://blahblahblah.jpg[/ img][/tip].

So then, after implementing, by hovering your mouse over the image, you would see text pop-up that says "This is Klavier Gavin".

Maybe its a bad idea, I don't know. What do you guys think?

Maybe if you steered clear of generic anime-style characters as avatar and sig material you wouldn't need to explain to everyone what they are? I mean, you pays your money you makes your choices.

I think tooltips for images is a good idea but the way you broached the subject suggested that they were needed as a solution to a problem. I was merely offering an alternative solution.

Honestly, you try to help a guy out and they get all defensive on you...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
