Acronyms

[rusty2667]

I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times...

Is there a list of acronyms somewhere?

Pretty frustrating to follow an interesting topic only to have it become gibberish because I don't undrstand the acronyms.

There used to be a feature where if a common acronym was used, you could put your mouse cursor over it and it'd display the meaning. That seems to have been taken out, though.

We could always make a master list of acronyms if one doesn't already exist. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed with acronyms when you don't know what they means, definitely frustrating.

I thought it was still active? WotC, RAW seem to show up still

Yes, the mouse-over explanation of acronyms is still in place. IYKWIMAITYD.

Ah, they used to have a dotted underline to denote them and now it's gone, so I thought the mouse over was gone with it. Guess it was just a cosmetic change.

Have you changed browser? They underline in Firefox but not in IE.

Yeah, back when the site was loading slow as hell I switched to Firefox to make it load a little faster. But I prefer IE, once the site's issues were taken care of i switched back to IE because I'm apparently the only person on earth who's tried both and likes IE better...

Have you changed browser? They underline in Firefox but not in IE.

It's also visible in Opera.

Have you changed browser? They underline in Firefox but not in IE.

And they don't underline in Chrome either, which is great!

A bit embarrassed by this, but I use a PS3 system. It's great for playing Madden, not so great for the interwebs. Luckily for everyone, you'll never see a long-winded post from me

I'll just google search for acronyms.
