and NVM should be added too

amazing idea. Thanks defender

thanx defender

I like this one a lot. Good job.

Second part of post removed because of stupidity pointed out by Banky in the next post down. Sorry about that one...

But that's what I'm talking about, if I refer to DOA the game, it comes up as "dead on arrival" and if you have PC mean Player's Choice, every time someone asks about PC games it'll say "Player's Choice"

Those words should just be left out of the acrobot. I talk about PCs a lot and It will be annoying for it to show up as something I am not meaning everytime.

Yay!!! This cuts the dumb-ass risk quotient by at least 30 ing %! Thanks Cheapy and Defender!

PC should be removed since it has a double meaning.

Thanks, defender

this is going to have serious issues.. IMHO

yea, i guess this will eventually save disk space, and reduce clutter.. i.e. when someone askes what is TRU? what is a GGC in a deal thread. and 5 ppl answers and 3 others flame...

Would it be possible to set it up so that we can choose whether or not to use the CAG Acronym filter when we post, just like we can turn off the parsing for bbcode and smilies?

To be completely honest, that didn't cross my mind. Never mind, then.

If they add that, "on" should definitely be the default. That way, we won't have to tell the stupid newbies to turn it on while we're flaming them. Saves us all time.

I don't undestand why Cheapy is including acro's like that as it will only lead to confusion and annoyances. The acrobot should be limited to acro's that are directly related to deals and/or business like TRU.

Cheapy should also try to get the acrobot to work when you preview a message.

Is this working properly on all browsers? It works fine for me, and I know them anyway, but the upcoming TRU BOGO sale has at least 3 different people asking what they mean. They refuse to read the thread since it's mentioned multiple times but maybe they can't see the underline and explanation. I'm hoping they're not that ignorant.
