I have been visiting the messages boards only relatively recently and am amazed to read that writing in upper case means shouting. I just thought it meant that it would stand out from other messages. There are other things I wouldn't mind knowing the meaning of like LOL; :)) , :O)) If anyone can spare the time from their research to let me into this secret language then thank you very much. |

LOL = Laugh Out Loud :) There's a thread about 'chatspeak' somewhere. I'll try find and nudge it for you. It's on the General topics board - 'Board Abbreviations a list' |

I know LOL means 'laughs out loud' and those other things are smiley faces, but don't know if there is any significance in exactly what type of smiley face it is. Kate. |

Tracy - ye gods, there's 4 pages of them!!!! It's not just me then - but how do you 'nudge'. Seen lots of nudges and know what it means I think but does it actually DO anything and if so how? I know how you feel Julie. It's worse than shorthand if anything LOL. Get that then!! I'm a fast learner. |

Jill, a nudge is just a reply to a topic that sends it to the top of a board. It's nothing special, it just means that a person isn't responding to the topic - they're just making go to the top so people looking for it can find it. |

I sometimes add a nudge so i can find the thread later. By adding the nudge it will appear in 'view your threads only' |
