    At least in Opera something like HDD gets a hovering tooltip, saying that's "Hard Disk Drive". Can we have this for other acronyms? Like: CPU, GPU, VGA, LCD, DVI-I, Mobo(?) MB(?), RAM, DDR, GDDR, USB and all the other friends of this bunch? Or you guys can't actually control that? I'm not familiar with forum applications as such, so I don't know of the possibilities.

    we do have contro but it also depends on how the browser handles the tag. (acronym)

    if make a list like this, I'd be more than happy to add them

    Code:
    'hwf' => 'Hardware Forums'
    'HDD' => 'Hard Disk Drive'

    Some of the acronyms overlap with software development and other IT branches, but HWF is HWF for a reason :D

    'CPU' => 'Central Processing Unit'
    'GPU' => 'Graphics Processing Unit'
    'VGA' => 'Video Graphics Array'
    'LCD' => 'Liquid Crystal Display'
    'RAM' => 'Random Access Memory'
    'DDR' => 'Double Data Rate'
    'GDDR' => 'Graphics Double Data Rate'
    'GDDR3' => 'Graphics Double Data Rate 3'
    'GDDR5' => 'Graphics Double Data Rate 5'
    'USB' => 'Universal Serial Bus'
    'SATA' => 'Serial Advanced Technology Attachment'
    'ATA' => 'Advanced Technology Attachment'
    'PATA' => 'Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment'
