Acronym Definer?
I clicked on this link
Roadside Death Shrines
and the AFAIK was underlined. When I moused over, a pop up said "as far as I know".

Is this new?

The YMMV yielded no underline. Hmm.

Interesting - the source code of your post above contains:
' and the < acronym title="As far as I know">AFAIK< / acronym> was underlined. When I moused over, a pop up said "as far as I know". < br />

It is not underlined or anything for me but when I mouse over it does say as far as I know. Weird. Never seen that before.

BTDT... been there, done that
YMMV... your mileage may vary

Work for the military/fed govt... acronym decoding becomes like a sixth sense.

Yours do not give their definitions though. Nothing appears when you hover over them with your mouse.

VaSteve, your AFAIK has the same magical property. It must be something in the latest forum software.
