How about a context sensitive glossary, which underlines words (like arb, and carb, etc...) with some help text like a description or the unabbreviated meaning (so for arb - Anti Roll Bar - Suspention Component) when you hover your mouse over it.

Updated CAM but BOB isn't in Wiki....

I think PSI might be good too?

Put PSI in Ben, i get a word in the glossary :D

Also noticed another clash CC clashes for abbreviation of clubcento
 
or a map

Took me a while to find this thread, but thought I'd just add that this is a great idea! :slayer: Was quite pleasantly surprised to see acronym & abbreviation definitions appearing in technical posts.

Just a thought though -- some words appear to link directly to the Wiki definitions (which is cool) but don't have a tooltip under them... any chance of having a quick one-line description on these too, so that you only have to open up a separate page if you want a fuller description/examples etc?

Oh aye -- and FIRE being Fully Robotized (Robotised?) Integrated Engine would be nice.

The easy answer is no, basically, in your example above, you typed ecu in llower case ;) so i would to put in all possible cases to make it work...

Fiat, fiat, FIAT, etc etc....
While I think about it, perhaps that's another suggestion worth making to the writer of the mod -- to have a system whereby each word can be put in and flagged as being case sensitive or not.... so that things which are really obvious "real" words like map or pass can be set as case sensitive....?

Just a thought, but maybe it's just being picky :eek:
 
I asked, he seemed reluctant, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.....

As for the descriptions, it was deemed better to keep the descriptions to Wiki, thus not slowing down the forum with loads of extra text and Javascript pop-ups (the current ones don't require js to function)...

However, still early days :) So everything will be taken into consideration!
