Abbreviations

[RolytheRhino]

When I post, grey brackets appear after all the abbreviations I have included in my message to say what my abbreviations are short for. It's rather irritating. I wouldn't mind, except:

1. I typed them, so I know their meanings.
2. Every time I try to write 'oh' it autocorrects to "OH (other half)'. Which is never what I mean anyway, as I use DP/DH/DW and it totally changes the meaning of my sentence when I actually want to type 'oh' as in the word.

How do I turn this function off please @MNHQ?

Hi @RolytheRhino

I can imagine that would be really frustrating when you know all of our acronyms.
There is a tick box all the way at the bottom of your preferences page, you just need to untick it.

Thank you!

Does it translate TSSDNCOP and ODFOD?

I've turned it off now so don't know, but I somewhat doubt it. It only seemed to do other half and original poster. Didn't say what OTOH meant. I don't think it suggested what DD etc meant either, but I could be misremembering.

@MNHQ umm, slight issue. I keep trying to untick the box but the moment I click save the box ticks itself again... Any ideas?

On the plus side, I can confirm @EmpressLesbianInChair, that it does not translate those acronyms, though it does translate TBH, which is how I found out it was still switched on!

Help @MNHQ, it's still doing it! It resets every time I press save...

Hi @RolytheRhino please let us know if you are still having problems with this.

It's still doing it, I'm afraid @MNHQ.

Hi @RolytheRhino please drop us a line with your device, and the browser you're using at: [email protected] and we'll investigate further.

OK @soniamumsnet, but I'm pretty sure it's not to do with my device. This didn't happen with my old account, only since I've deleted the old one and started a new one. And I was on the same device and browser before.

Hi there OP, it helps us when we are trying to pinpoint the problem, and trying to recreate it - as we have to do this before we can try and fix it! Write to us on here, or email us :) [email protected]
