Hi,

Sometimes i found it difficult to understand the full forms of technical or other abbreviations like DRDO but as you can see when we take the mouse pointer over underlined ' DRDO ' we get its full form with the mouse pointer.

I would like to suggest, to add the full forms of commonly used abbreviations like - RLG, MIRV, RV, SLBM, ICBM, CATOBAR, STOBAR, etc.etc. because members who are not from technical backgrounds find it tough to understand, they have to google it. If we manage to enter the full forms of such commonly used but less understood abbreviations in our site then it would really be very helpful and informative for all of our members whether he is new or old, technical or non-technical. This way we wont have to surf Wikipedia to understand them and can save our precious bandwidth.

Thanks :)

/\/\/\ Those should be present in the DFI acronyms list, IIRC.

Hey Lurker Baba, add "True Story" Emoticon to the similes- Here it is. If you do that the site will become Awesome- True Story:nod:

If possible, can 'like' button be added for the mobile version? Can notifications be tweaked to show 'likes' received? Also, can the list of members online be displayed? - all for mobile version.

/\/\/\ Saya, is it something like - you click on 'New Posts', then on a thread of your choice click on 'last page', but it does not direct you to the last page? If so, I'm having the same issues.

Can we have a deleted posts count just below the "likes" count for the member ? This would serve the purpose of discouraging posting of derogatory remarks.

Good idea and bad. Flip side is that the trolls will say we have this+this posts and the biased mods deleted it :D

But still worth trying, on average a troll will just show out stark clear.

I have a better suggestion. Why not just starting ban people for derogatory remarks. Starting from the mods.:cool2:

How is it that I see Iceberg as the last poster on this thread under 'New Posts' and then find the last post is by Mad Indian. I cannot access Page 65 and I am stuck with Page 64 for whatever I do to reach Page 65.

I feel it is not possible to ban people for one derogatory remark, but repeated such remarks should lead to ban. Yet the point raised about showing how bad the member is a troller by showing deleted threads should be definitely considered.

Ray sir,are you using Firefox ? try deleting history, cookies,re-installation, if it doesn't help then try Google Chrome perhaps it should help you, same happened to me with Firefox,i reinstalled FF which helped me.

BTW Ice berg has proved that YB was right in his last post :lol:

I single handedly changed the rule regarding use of eight images per post in DFI:D-:fyeah:
