For the PAGE_CONTAINER p-nav-opposite section, there's inconsistency in tooltip display;

Hover-over tooltip displays for;
  • Avatar - "{Username}"
  • Search (both icon and word) - "Search"
Hover-over tooltips do NOT display for;
  • {Username}
  • Conversations/Inbox icon
  • Alerts icon
For more inconsistency, if you add content to the phrases 'nav_inbox' and 'nav_alerts', then these words appear next to the icons and do NOT get hover-over tooltips, like Search does.

Arguably, the current situation is inverse to what it should be. The avatar and search (icon and word) do NOT need hover-off tooltips as they're self explanatory - the large majority of visitors know what these are for and do. Where as, the Conversation/Inbox and Alert icons are not self explanatory and should have hover-over tooltip explanations as most likely visitors new to forums and xF will not know what these are for and what they do.

Thus, I believe the bug is that hover-over tooltips are missing for Conversation/Inbox and Alerts.
For ultimate consistency, ensure that hover-over tooltips are in-place for all items within the p-nav-opposite section. Or logical consistency would imply that Conversation/Inbox and Alerts needs them, but Avatar/Username and Search do not need them.
 
Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.2).

Change log:
Apply explanation tooltips more consistently to the account header section.
There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
