Glossary Wanted

I think its quite clever. I can see squabbles emerging though when 2 users disagree on the pop up wording that should be used. There are entire threads dedicated to trying to find the meaning of a simple word like male for instance.

Very annoying feature for anyone that's grown for more than about 2 weeks.

Isn't there an option to turn this feature off per user?

exactly. thats a big problem, if the "official" definition says one thing but some people disagree.

thanks to the forum admins for always working to make improvements and such. i just dont think this one is gonna work out tho. but if it could be enabled/disabled that would be fine with me. $0.02

It might be annoying in certain situations but show some appreciation! You think that everything we do is convientent for SKIP? No way, show the man some appreciation for the work he does! He doesn't complain when we do something he doesn't like.

 

[foomar]

it won't work with any words that have code with them, like bold or font size

At least its easily avoided in your own posts , an on/off setting like for the sidebar would suit everyone , if its tecnically possible.

LOL! I just did! I complained about someone who complained about his links to a site showing porn getting censored...

I've changed the glossary cross-link to italics now. I could just make the links a different color instead.

I don't find it distracting. And its easy not to scroll through that single square inch of screen.

That's why the glossary is open for all to comment on (coming soon).

Ha! Those who think they know it all, don't. You should see some of the technical terms in there, that I bet you and most others complaining don't know.
You should read thru the glossary, you might learn something.
It's just that some terms don't get used very often, simply cause ppl don't know the technical terms for some things, or the terms are too advanced for even this site.
Not everyone is an advanced grower or breeder here.
And you might as well get used to it.

Its less visually disruptive to read like this , greenhouse clone ganja thc cbd genetics , but if you could strip out the really common knowledge ones it could be less intrusive but still usefull.

If members are supposed to be over 18 they should be familiar with the fundamental terms , going on a car forum with popups for basics like engine and wheels would be similarly annoying and redundant.

Yes, common terms have been removed and more will be. It's just an import from existing glossaries on the site (there are a few).
