Hello all,

Due to work and family I have been inactive long enough that I forgot the account name I created back in '07.

I am in the process of getting myself familiarized with the forum and how to use it appropriately.

Can someone please share some of the shorthand definitions with me (e.g. PM, bump.) I have looked for definitions with no luck. I have an understanding that PM has to do with contacting the person that posted, and I need to have posted 5 times before I can PM. Is there any place that explains all this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a million! PM makes sense. I did not see "bump." Am I ignorant and need to do more homework?

There are numerous things you will see on these forums specifically for cars and things like that.

GB - Group Buy
CF - Carbon Fiber
FS - For Sale
WTT - Wanting To Trade
WTB - Wanting To Buy
Bump - Bumping the thread to get back up top
TTT - Same as bump except referring someone back (To The Top)

Just some forum lingo. You will find out as you keep posting and what not. Good luck!
