Hallo,

I have many questions. So let's start: my english is not very good. So I don't understand the used abbreviations. It took a long time to learn that *lol* means "laugh out loud". Please, is there somebody out there who can explain the others?

[Andrea]

Thank you very much Martina,

OMG (Oh, my god?) that is overwhelming. Never thought that these are so many. It's a new language, isn't it?

[Brad]

Ulrike, your English is a lot better than my German so don't worry. I'm sure if you message us if theres a problem we'll answer you. Look forward to seeing more of your beautiful artwork.

[Juno Kughler Carlson]

You are doing much better than me with the abbreviations, Ulrike. When I first started in chat rooms years ago, I though LOL meant Lots of Love. I thought everyone was just being sweet to me. :)

[Martina]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!! Same here. When I started in a gamer chat (pogo - millenniums away...) I always was upset when people wrote LOL. I didn't want to have lots of love all the time and in every second sentence. *rofl

[Martina]

Can't move it. This is not possible at NING.

Because we just are talking about solvents in Junos "Best tips and Trick" thread just copy your question and paste it there.

[Ulrike]

Please, I don't want to make someone angry about me but what means "featured member"? I really don't know something about that.

[Martina]

Featured members are members who have been featured. Our network can feature members at anytime we want and I think our featured members are a good choice.

[Ulrike]

Thank you for the explanation and yes, they are a good choice.

[Lorrie Sudoski]

Can someone please tell me what ATC is?
