A (?) icon hovering on which it will give little more detail of how the textbox works. For example, a textbox description only says "Timezone offset" with the default value being '0.00' -- it is not clear if the offset has to be put in normal hour-min format (5:30) as against decimal (5.50). A help tooltip would help in most of the cases I am sure, atleast for the newbies.

Upgrade your ZNC, there is no "Timezone offset" anymore, but Timezone name
instead, with autocomplete support and example.

Okay. But regardless, this looks like a nice feature addition

Actually, help icons in general, not only text fields. Something like what we get when one configures Jenkins (but not that old-style-is)

Why (?) is better than tooltip on the field itself?
What does Jenkins do?
