Suggestion Acronyms explanation hovering on them

ElStellino · 06-18-2012, 12:19 PM

So, I understood the LBA is Lens Buying Addiction.
I come from a country were nobody uses acronym, at least very rarely, and every time in English speaking websites I have to select, right click and search with google what is that strange word.
So far this is the only forum where I found that marvellous feature where I can hover on... say LBA <- Lens Buying Addiction !!! Did you see it???

Would it be possible to have it for other acronyms please? They are a real PITA, can I write it? I found it funny in an acronyms related post, oops.
Now I'm just reading the Pentax K-30 hands on post and performing a search in the meanwhile for what PDAF and CDAF stand for. I understand AF is auto focus, as for the rest...

Thank you!

Glad you like the feature

There's a thread on the forum (somewhere

) that lists many common acronyms- until we add more to the list, I'm sure that thread will prove helpful, assuming you can find it!
