Abbreviations

[Oliver]

Hello new members!

You've probably noticed that the world of e-cigarettes is dominated by a bewildering array of abbreviations (not to mention products ).

To make your life a little easier browsing the forum, we've enabled a feature that automatically defines some of the more commonly used abbreviations.

Take ECF, PV or FDA as examples: You will notice that these have a dotted line underneath them - if you hover your mouse over them you should see a definition pop up.

This feature has been tested in Firefox and Internet Explorer (6+) only. If you are not seeing them for any reason, please post in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo.../60659-new-am-i-just-lame-have-noticed-2.html

All the best!

SJ

Just saw this, Joe! Thanks so much for this excellent feature. Indeed many of my abbreviations do now have this feature. Really great addition to ECF!

 

[Drag-on]

Thanks, I'm new to all of this, so this feature will really help.

Well duh! I though the little underlines were telling me I spelled something wrong! I do that a lot!
neat feature!

Mary Kay, that's what I wondered, hahahaha, now that it has been explained, so much easier.

Amazing feature! I clicked this link ready to memorize a bunch of acronyms, this is an awesome surprise hahah. The abbreviation pop-up text also works in Google Chrome. (The browser I'm using).

Cheers

ohhhhhh love this feature! thank you!!

 

[Allan]

Thanks for clarifying that one. I was thinking that in time I would figure out the "buzz" words, now I can even understand! Great feature for the beginner.

 

[Tread1]

Thanks for this!

Mine are not being underlined. How do I turn this on?

 

[StayOutOfTrees]

Thanks. Was wondering what those little dots meant. Actually, I knew the underlined stuff were abbreviations because it was just some letters put together, lol, but still was trying to figure out what these abbreviations meant by looking through the forums, but now I get it though, put the mouse over the abbreviation to see what it means, sweet.

Makes one feel a little stupid, lol.

great! thank u very much! what is a cartomizer?

 

[m201]

oh, so sorry, i found out what a cartomizer = combined atomizer/cartridge/mouthpiece (the “cartomizer”) is, by speed-reading through 'The Wonderful World of vaping: An Illustrated Guide to E-cigs (Parts 1 through 6)' ... again ... i don't know how anyone could figure out all this stuff on their own! thank goodness for this site! i think www e-cigarette-forum com should be printed in every PV e-cig manual! I have been vaping for a year and didn't even know that I was a vaper, heh

Thanks so much for this excellent feature， it is very helpful for me

 

[ZorbaTheGreek]

Works in opera 10 as well! Great feature. I know it took me a while to figure it all out

 

[Koman]

Yeah this is really useful when you hover over abbreviation and it shows what it is all about!

 

[chooky]

I need all the help I can get.............I have menopausal brain fog! LOL

 

[Tiger]

This is great if you are new and still learning all the terms that are used. Thanks.

 

[nicotime]

Great function but the change to the massive squiggly red lines under misspelled words is a bit much. Any part of a letter that goes under the normal line of text (like q,p,y,j) gets covered so you have to look hard to see what it is or depend on the suggested spelling pop-up which doesn't always have the word needed. A thinner or transparent red line would be sufficient IMO. Not a real big deal...just a thought.

Pretty cool feature, SJ.. Thanks for the forum, I think it will be a blessing for me...
