Auto-acronyming - new feature? (merged)

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

SRD might need a spot on that list. Same might apply for GSL and OGL, but I haven't noticed yet wether they are missing or not.

They call it "Chult".

Cool. So if my character orders something 25gp or more, does he get free shipping?

Y'all really need to make this thing case-sensitive.

"My attack did 13 dmg!" (Already seen in the wild.)

Also, instead of FR, you should expand FRCS, FRPG and FRCG.

Terms underlining

For some reason, in the past week, whenever I'm reading a thread I get some terms underlined with dots. 4e, FR, and some others. I'm not sure why, or where this setting might be? I'm on Firefox 3, but it doesn't happen anywhere else.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's a new feature. Hover your mouse over the underlined words (which are almost always acronyms) and you'll see what they mean.

 

[fba827]

If you hold the mouse over the underlined words (without clicking) is shows what the abbreviation stands for.

It's a new feature and they've been adding a few common abbreviations to the list.

It's a great feature. It helps newer people participate.

How about PbP (Play by Post)?
Eb (Eberron)
ECS (Eberron Campaign Setting)
CS (campaign setting -- is this common?)
IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer)
FWIW (For What It's Worth)

OIODMMAI (Only If Our Dread Master Morrus Allows It -- what? what? )

Do we want to add words like githyanki or illithid? (I.e. that a gamer might use but a newer poster wouldn't necessarily be familiar with?)

If that's on the agenda, "gish" has to be included. I had no idea what that was for a long time, and it is invariably asked any time it comes up. Plus, with the FRPG and swordmage being released... It's gonna come up a lot.
