Demand and Suggestion

[Tassilo Seeger]

As a non-american-user of this forum I have a demand:
It would be very nice to avoid abbreviations like here for example
http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...02&postcount=1
For american birders the Red-winged Blackbird may be a very well known species, but the meaning of „rwbb“ is not easy to find out, even with a book of north american birds.

Furthermore a suggestion to the admins & mods:
Especially for the second-language-english reader it could be very helpful to generate a shurtcut-list to explain often used acronyms like BG (Background) , SH (shadow/highlight), OOF (out of focus) etc., and add the list to the Technical Support Site as FAQ

What`s your opinion?

Regards
Tassilo

Thanks for this great site!

We'll call one a suggestion, and the other a strong suggestion... demand carries a negative connotation that makes me unhappy ;) BPN will definitely take this into consideration as our international base is EXTREMELY important to us. We truly want to be a world-wide nature photography resource. We always listen to our Members...

I will let you know as soon as we've come up with a solution for this.

Thanks for your support,

Blake

I will definitely work on an acronym list!!1 Will probably post it here and in the Edu Forum as a Stickie.

Thanks for your important feedback!

You probably meant "petition" when you said demand :)

Tassilo,

We are just having fun with you and want to thank you for your "demands" I mean suggestions.

It can't be easy trying to express your thoughts in another language. I have a tough enough time trying to do that in my own native language.

BPN is truly an International community, thanks again for being interested enough to offer your thoughts.

Thanks for your friendly comments :)

@ Fabs: "petition" is exactly what I meant

@ "Darth Daddy" and "Overlord": I promise to work on my "Galactic Basic Standard" :o

Hi Fabs,
thanks a lot :)

Cheers

Funny, but I have to say that I noticed that "rwbb" was not used by an American, but rather one of our neighbors to the north. ;)

herzliches Willkommen zur BPN :D
