if you write the descriptions for your icons to have the character name in it, that not only gets the character name into the tooltip, it helps to tell screenreader users who the icon is of.

I see! I guess the problem is a lot of RPers I know don't bother with the description field; personally, I try to put the general feeling of my icon in the keyword. So this icon, for example, has the keyword "It's up to me" to indicate that the character is determined. People can probably get used to doing it the way you're suggesting, but it's a big departure from what we're used to, is all.

Hence rejecting the suggestion, because username + display name + description (+ comment) could conceivably be hundreds of characters long, and in most non-RP use cases, people's display name is something that has no relation to the actual journal and it doesn't make any sense to have it as part of the alt or title.

The second part makes sense, but regarding the first part, both of the suggestions I saw (full disclosure, one of them being one I suggested) weren't to add the display name to the tooltip, but to replace the username, since the username is already available relatively nearby.

Thanks for the reply!
