    @Rory - any chance that we can get an acronym plug-in / functionality going for TASA?

    Stuff that is aquarium related etc ...

    Typically HOB, LFS, LPS, MTS, UGF, PFP, PPI, DOA & HMF are a few that would be good candidates.

    One could start a thread and make it a sticky, but an auto explanation on mouse over looks so cool.

    Thanks Ferdie

    Yes! Pls! It would help a lotta noobs along... remember, we haven't all been online all our lives! This was the 1st forum I ever joined, and I've muddled along using common sense, or google when really stumped!

    Will it now be affective in all 'old' posts as well?

    Marvellous

    TASA will now be a lot more 'beginner friendly'.

    Ok. 95 acronyms have been added. You'll have to let me know what's missing, like the 2 unhighlighted ones in the first post... No idea what those are.

    Let me guess. "Root" was put in, in error. The explanation was Reverse Osmosis, short and sweet. Then the error was spotted and corrected, with an explanation of, Reverse Osmosis, type of water purification. But the first "root' was already applied to the database. The correction was added as a new acronym. However, the script file does not show the first one anymore, as it was corrected. I suppose to fix it, the data has to be erased completely and re-applied through the script file. Do I make sense?

    No. The highlighting is done as the thread/post is viewed so there's no caching or anything. There never was a "root" entry in the database. RO and RO/DI are the only ones that look anything like it.

    The two 'explanations' is different.
