Default What are all these underlined words?????

You might have noticed some underlined words in the forums. This is not trying to sell something like many of the other sites. That will not happen on the Flying Giants. This is a new feature. The Giant Jargon Dictionary has been upgraded and reworked. When one of the terms in the Giant Jargon Dictionary appears in the forums it is crosslinked to the Dictionary. You can point at the term and see part of the definition. If you click on the term it will take you to that listing in the Giant Jargon Dictionary.

The Giant Jargon Dictionary has been expanded to 4 sections Giant Jargon - Terms used on the Flying Giants website and around 3D flight in general. Abbreviations - Abbreviations of common terms. Technical Jargon - Technical terms used in model aviation,and aviation in general. Maneuvers - Description of different aerobatic maneuvers / patterns. Many of the Maneuvers have the Aresti symbols in the definition.

If you decide you don't like the underlines in the forums, you can turn this feature off. To turn off the crosslinking, go to the Forum Navigation menu pull down to My FlyingGiants. On the menu on the left side of the page click on Edit Options. The first option is Glossary Crosslinking. Just uncheck the option Enable Glossary Crosslinking.

If you have any questions or problems with the new Giant Jargon post them here. If you have any terms you would like to see add Just send me a PM.
