I then have to "mark all forums read", log out of FT and log back in before any new threads are recognized as being read by me. Is it because you put fancy links in instead of just pasting the url?

Just do what the rest of us do and ignore any links set up by Canarsie.

Sausage links?
Golf links?
Chain links?
Feline lynx?

.Anytime you see a word or words in blue, that's a link and you can click on it.

Actually, I think it now takes you back to this thread..... .

Thanks. I actually knew blue was a link but read right past that being blue (see what happens when you are FT'ing at work). I also had looked through the sticky and missed that glossary all together
Ok a better suggestion then...if there are sub-glossaries (by forum) have a list of them (links to them) in the main glossary, for us idiots *smile* who think hmmmm if it says help...glossary that MUST be where I should be looking *grin*. Thanks again.
BTW this is by far one of the friendliest forums on FT (less newbie-eating here than some others...heck I almost bled to death after asking a question in SPG the other day).

As to Forum glossaries, we have this one solely due to Canarsie's hard work. Most Forums don't have such a wealth of info. I think Canarsie has one up and running in Hilton and maybe in a few other fora.

I can't believe not one person has noted the correct definition of "what is an FO". Delta is in Atlanta, and so is The Varsity, so the absolutely correct answer must be a "Frosted Orange". Geez, it's been so many years since I've had one of those (along with a chili dog and rings)!!!

Flying Orchids
OK
I GIVE!!! Why/where did that come from?
In my distant past FO meant First Officer....
FO = Flies Often
FO = First On, First Off?
Did DL give out Orchids to their frequent flyers?
