Is there a glossary?
I have been a Frequent Flyer for many years and I have recently joined this board.
It seems most people here use abbreviations. Unfortunately, many of the abbreviations used are not apparent to me. Is there a sticky with a glossary for the abbreviations?

Found it strange that CC aka coupon connection is not on the list.
Maybe too secret?

Am I crazy in that the Glossary doesn't work for me? The paragraph is there, but none of the links work and I don't see any other lists of terms/definitions. Is it becasue I'm using Firefox?

I tried Google Chrome and Safari as well and the links don't work there for me either.
So I'm thinking that they are in need of repair.
BTW, many forums have their own glossaries explaining lingo that may be unique to that forum.
Here's one such glossary in the Travel Safety/Security Forum.

It was working 5 days ago.
IB must have done something to "ruin" the Glossary during the last couple of days. Maybe they "accidentally" disable the whole thing while trying to update Glossary?
