Question Marks on fields

Hi, great work on Sentinel to all involved, I've only just installed it and found it a doddle to install and it doesn't seem to hog resources as others have in the past.

One thing (which I've just posted as a comment on Bobs 2.0 testing post on the homepage) is that it may be useful to have question mark icons or similar next to each field in the app.

When clicked on these could open in a new window (popup?) to explain what each field does and each selection in each field - this will help newbies get used to the settings and will hopefully eliminate some of the questions raised in these Forums re. "what does this do?" etc

Just a thought to help enhance the product

Are you reading my messages to Bob Laughing

? I had told him yesterday that I was planning to try to make some kind of mouseover or popups as help. Great suggestion, albeit stolen ROTFL

No Raven, not reading your messages but reading your mind - you didn't have it protected and I hacked into your brain Very Happy

Glad to hear it's in the pipeline, if you need any help give me a shout

I'll take you up on it! Let me know the definitions from a user perspective, rather than a developer. Thanks!

I'll be only to glad to help. Give me a couple of days and I'll get back to you with something which you'll hopefully find useful - based on the new version
