The TEAM has been working on loading information in a new tool we have added to TSS.

It's our "Glossary". Basically what this does is, highlights a word (such as Messier) to identify it as being part of the Glossary. If you place your mouse pointer over the word it will display a brief meaning. If you click on the word it will do the same. In some cases there are even images added to help.

We hope this will help new members (beginners especially) to resolve some the terminology that we use on TSS.

We are still working on getting things loaded up and will be adding more, as we see the need.

Nice!!!!

Hard work, but great help to our beginners here

So, if you see an abbreviation or acronym that is not in the glossary and you feel it is used pretty often, please don't hesitate to point that out to us.

Cheers,
JT

Thanks very much, Gordon and team, for the continuous improvement!
I am certain this latest addition will be very useful to folks here.

Thanks for the addition, Gordon, and the notification. I was looking at my latest post and trying to remember how I had highlighted all those words. It was a real head-scratcher for a while!

Really nice! A great feature!

Ahhh, now it clicks... I was with Bob on this; what had I done? I think that's a great idea, though I agree it's a lot of work. Kudo's to you all who are doing this!

And this is not a complaint, but I made a post on Eric's (Buckethead 2.0) thread about user handles, and at on point I wrote "I am neither fat nor am I a cat". I meant the feline, but the fact that I am not a catadioptric telescope holds true as well

All kidding aside, it really is a good idea. Thanks to all involved!
