So is there a glossary section on here somewhere?

[hosshead]

... because there are a LOT of abbreviations and acronyms and stuff that just doesn't really make sense if you try to google it.
And some of them are pretty close to others of them but mean different things entirely


I mean.
We have AP and APO and and and.


I just haven't really found a page on here with definitions if there is one but it might be great.




Not saying I'm expert enough to do all that compilation...

We do have one, check at the top of this page, it is on the information bars tucked between "Quiz" and 'Members".
there are a LOT of these acronyms and short cuts nowadays, have fun!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

ah!
I had to turn my phone onto its side,(landscape), to make visible those various other items.
The value of "wide angle viewing " has taken on yet another meaning

Happy to hear you found it. You may want to keep the landscape mode activated, there will be a test on the acronyms etc in about a hour, please bring your own pencil.

I see now their is a Glossary good

Now that you mention it, I don't know what all those symbols stand for next to the topics. I know red stand for those I haven't red yet. Black stands for those I have. What about the star and the flame? I never paid much attention before and I have ben on here for a long time.

[KingClinton]

If you take a look at the first post in this topic it highlights the acronyms, hover your mouse pointer over the highlighted acronym and it will give you a brief description of the acronym from the glossary.
Almost like a magic trick!

Bring the dog along, we will give him some alphabet soup, see if he digested any of the information, might be worth a few points.

@jrkirkham @KingClinton

It's always fun trying to find out things like this. The originator of the 'style' we are using is German, so all of his help pages are in German, I've used translators to try to ask the question but, well you know how that goes....

Anyway, the flashing icon (or flame) just means "Hot Topic" basically its a topic that has gotten a few replies in a short amount of time....

@hosshead

Just place your mouse cursor over the text and it will give you the meaning. example TSS.

Is there a special abbreviation or acronym for "I've spent a hour and a half hauling out all my stuff, driving to the observation site, setting it up and letting it cool down and got only a half-hour of observation before it completely clouded over"?

There IS, actually.... but I'm not allowed to type it out on a public forum.


And I don't want to be going and getting all banned and stuff, neither.
