WebGUI Improvements

[Martinski4GitHub]

1. Modified some WebGUI messaging with additional information to clarify and help new users who may not be familiar with some of the features:

2. Added tooltips (hint msgs) to some WebGUI elements:

   • "Approve/Block Changelog" button
   • Enable F/W Changelog Check
   • Enable Automatic Backups
   • Enable F/W Update Email Notifications

Sample screenshots:

Not only is this good to go, this is actually a great idea I didn't even think about and really love lol!

Yes, I really love the idea. (Don't tell my girl. )

The additional help and "messaging" directly in the WebUI using tooltips is perfect for any additional new users we might pickup when we add the WebUI.

In short, I have a feeling this WebUI will make our MerlinAU tool generally more assessable to the general population, especially those who may not be very confident or knowledgeable in using scripts.

If I'm correct, we may have a wave or new users trying to learn what all these options and toggles do.

We could always remind them were the Wiki is sure, but not many people read. This is a good solution to just hint specific things likely found in the Wiki.

Yes, exactly. I also expect the upcoming WebGUI version will attract a few more new users to "try it on for size" and a few converts will keep it installed, especially those who have had some apprehension about using the SSH menu due to their unfamiliarity with Linux CLI. Toward that end, I'm thinking that any help we can give them with improved messaging and additional tooltips can only make their user experience better & easier.

With the Wiki page in mind, in my latest PR, I have added the Wiki URL to the CLI "Help" and "About" information and also on the WebGUI page. The goal is to give it more visibility and make it readily accessible to new users, especially on the WebGUI page.
