Acronyms: Wants & Issues

[WilliamImm 3]

IP Boards has a nice ability to 'disambiguate' the plethora of acronyms that we use at STEP (simply place the cursor over an acronym to see what it translates to in real language). If you DO NOT see the translation on mouse hover, then the acronym is not yet defined.
 
While we have added many of the most common:
AFAIK
IIRC
SRO ...
 
Many are probably still needed, so please post here if there are any that you think should be added or post if there are issues with existing acronym conversions.

Well, only the one - the SMIM acronym currently reads "Skyrim Mesh Improvement Mod (mod)". Not only is the actual name of the mod "Static Mesh Improvement Mod", the (mod) tag is redundant because the acryonym expands to include "mod".

Also, EBQO (which I use frequently when referring to Even Better Quest Objectives) and REGS (Real Explorer's Guide to Skyrim, also frequently used now) should be listed in the acronym lists.

I added/fixed those mentioned and added several more.

The REGS tag is misspelled ("Real Exporer's Guide to Skyrim" as opposed to "A Real Explorer's Guide to Skyrim"). SR and SR:LE (Skyrim Revisited and Skyrim Revisited: Legendary Edition) likely should be on the tag list too, though I'm not sure if SR and LE should just be seperate acronyms.

Fixed :P

Is there a way to make these case sensitive?

 

"Taking a step in the right direction" and "STEP has a great following"

Thanks for noticing ... fixed!

I've tested it in the 'test' forum. MO (mod organizer), VFS (virtual filing system) and SkyUI have no acronyms defined atm.

Is there a way to find out what acronyms are defined atm?

Added:

MO

VFS

SkyUI

Thanks Z.

Now that I know of this functionality I will request more if I other missing acronyms. Really a great feature.

BCS should be added as an acronym, since it's used fairly often to reffer to "Book Covers Skyrim".

[phryxolydian 32]

Potential Mod Order Problem (POMP) seems to be becoming of regular use..

[DoubleYou 10]

Not POMP but PMOP

[phryxolydian 32]

 

These are not so commonly used but well.. maybe?

 

MMO - Modular Morrowind Overhaul

DSAMG - Dragon Soul Absorb More Glorious

UNP - ehh... Universal Nude Project? haha actually, no idea.

IHSS - Improved Horse Step Sounds

amb - amiddianborn

[Nozzer66 224]

I've been led to believe UNP = Unpretend, actually. But don't quote me.

[DoubleYou 10]

MMO can actually stand for Massively Multiplayer Online game.

[CJ2311 211]

Yeah, UNP stands for UNPretend, according to the mod page, so it's not really an acronym.
