Auto-acronyming - new feature? (merged)

[blargney the second]

I've noticed some auto-generated acronym tooltips around today. Is it a new feature? Btw it's worked correctly for me so far, fwiw: DMG & SEO both came out right IMHO. (I'm experimenting. *lol*)

It's part of the SEO software... I haven't played with it myself. I included four or five acronyms on the list. Suggestions are welcome.

I don't actually know how it works - how and where is the function manifesting?

Well, I learned here ...

that PR stands for Google PageRank, and not Public Relations as I'd previously believed.

[Morrus]

Ah, I see! Cool!

Looks like there are some default acronyms (like PR) that need to be deleted. here are the ones I have entered myself:


'afaik' => 'As far as I know'
'DMG' => 'Dungeon Master\'s Guide'
'MM' => 'Monster Manual'
'PHB' => 'Player's Handbook'
'IYKWIMAITYD' => 'If you know what I mean, and I think you do'
'WotBS' => 'War of the Burning Sky Campaign Saga'

 

[Obryn]

PHB doesn't seem to work...

I'd add stuff like IIRC and IMHO (and its variants). But then again, I'm sure you'd get around to that eventually!

Some other particularly D&Dy acronyms we see around here a lot:
WotC => Wizards of the Coast
DDI => Dungeons & Dragons Insider
IDHMBWM => I don't have my books with me
Hasborg => Whoever wrote this post is a conspiracy nut that knows we're out to get him
RAW => Rules as written
RAI => Rules as intended

Rofl --> Rolling on the floor laughing
Roflmao --> Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.
XPH --> Expanded Psionics Handbook
ELH --> Epic Level Handbook
PFRPG --> Pathfinder Role Playing Game

Just some suggestions.

RAW => Rules as written
RAI => Rules as intended

Um. "I built this Ranger with an eye towards raw damage." Not working as intended.

PS: NM, FWIW, RTFM, PEACH, FOAD.

Hrm.. I guess it isn't case-sensitive. Btw, I'd be super-happy if the aberration that is PEACH didn't infect ENWorld. I automatically ignore any threads with that in the title.

That's strange - I find myself liking the acronyms less and less the more I see them. It's because my brain has been trained that underlined words on webpages are links. Is there any way for me to turn them off either on the webpage or in my browser?
