Another feature we had from many years ago was the function where you could hover a certain word such as TOW and it would tell you what it meant. Very useful for new members etc. I have now found a new addon that this (hover over TOW to see!). I now need all your help! If we can collectively compile a list I can upload and I will be tweaking the styling on abbreviations so they stand out a bit.

I would very much appreciate the help as I continue to try and improve the forum, so thanks in advance for any help 😁 (note it doesn't need to just be abbreviations, e.g. we used to have "bunker" as it was a common term. We can also categorise them, e.g. "bunker" was under our Tactical Terms category
 
  • VC - Vampire Counts
  • TK - Tomb Kings
  • SBG - Soulblight Gravelords
  • VLoZD - Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon
  • AT - Abyssal Terror
  • Necro - Necromancer
  • Blender Lord - Specific aggressive Melee Lord build
  • Horde - Unit with a rank that is 10 wide, used to get an attack from an extra row
  • Chaff - Cheap, expendable, cannon fodder units (zombies etc.)

Some are maybe outdated, some are not...will keep editing this post as I remember more.
 
I would make a parsimonious list of abbreviations, otherwise it can get over the top and result in a lot of mouse hovering and nonsensical posts if we encourage too many to be used. We have to think of non-native English speakers in particular when it comes to encouraging excessive use of abbreviations. The hover feature is a good idea for commonly used ones though.
