Acronyms

[Hostels]

A couple of small new features on HostelManagement.com:

Common acronyms will automatically show the full words when hovered over. Common acronyms:

• HW
• WRI
• HB
• HM
• SERPs

Regular visitors know what "HW" refers to, but some first-time visitors might get confused.

If anyone has feedback about this feature, post it here.

Also, some of the website may soon load with JavaScript for users who aren't logged in. It won't change for users who are logged in.

Please make the forum change the word "God" into "Flying Spaghetti Monster".

I'm a supporter of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but the forum is getting larger and I don't want to drive anyone away who is interested in hostels, but might get offended

[santa klaus]

All right, you´re the boss.

But if you asked me, people who get offended when I tell them I´m an antitheist are morons who shouldn´t be interested in hostels.

I'm just worried about offending people if they type the word with one meaning and the site automatically changes what they wrote.
For some people, the subject can be touchy.

A good idea - suggest you add SEO.

[Hostels]

Good idea -- I added a few common SEO-related terms in case they have been mentioned in threads: SEM, PR, IBLs.

Suggest also adding PM as this would probably not be known to newbies.

[Hostels]

I just added PM and removed PR (because I saw a post where it was used to mean Press Relations, not PageRank).

Thank you for these. Most of the above I wouldnt have known without the help. It saves me having to ask, feeling very stupid, what they mean, or to try to work it out through logic and getting it totally wrong. For example, I've NEVER seen Hostelworld referred to as HW, except when Hostelworld has already been used previously in the item.
