SuperMaria:
Hiya I'm a newbie and love this forum, so much information, thank you very much to everybody! :-*

However sometimes it's difficult to understand the various abbreviation/acronym (BNF, DH, DE ecc..), is there a list explaining what they mean? Maybe the admin could put a pin post on the site guidance section?
