An idea that is over do for the new members forum page

[Don Graham]

As you can see I just signed up a couple of day ago. I have been reading ever sense. It is clear that all the Pro's speak in code's. Even the web site's do this. They use all kinds of abbreviation for words having to do with ecig equipment and e-juice. Why this is done I can not say. My be it comes from the texing generation. I am pretty sure it is impossible to change of you. So here is the Idea.

Administrator need to put a new button in the blue area at the top of the new be page. The button should say Definition to abbreviated words. That would help all of us newbee. It would help even the Pro's keep up with the latest slang. I know the administrators dose not have the time to formulate this list. So the list needs to be made buy the member. Admin can set up the page and the members can do the definitions. The abbreviation could be go from A-Z for easy access. So what do you think of my idea?

Hover the cursor over the abbreviation and usually the meaning appears in a pop up

mmsjs5, Thanks so much, That E-cig Glossary link is just what I was needing. I do like all the other info on that site. If I spend a week or so studying I could be a Pro in no time.

I agree ,Don, that the nomenclature can be a bit much in the beginning. As you can see the people here are quick to help each other.

I do try to spell everything out though it is easy to forget , in our eagerness to be of assistance that even terms that may seem basic to ourselves may be foreign and even a bit intimidating to those newer to the scene.

Thank you for bringing the issue to light as we all could use a reminder sometimes that we all didn't come to the site with the knowledge of what, for instance an HH.357 Cisco Spec 510 atty is, much less where to buy or when asked for a juice vendor recommendation and getting acronyms such as BWB,AVE,HHV,etc.

Again, as stated above, there is a lot to learn, but remember, we have your back. All it requires on your part is one thing.
A willingness to ask. Have a great day Don Graham. I hope your time here is long. Remember, you don't have to learn everything in a week. As you take in what is pertinent to you, before you know it, you are a veteran passing on the knowledge you have acquired.

Or, just post in the thread that has the jargon and ask. It's a good way to get your first 5 posts and open the rest of the forum.
