Abbreviations

[Lennart]

Name: Abbreviations
Description: If your users do like abbreviations, you might like this plugin.
It allows the admin to add common abbreviations and a explanation of these abbreviations in Admin CP and these explanations will be displayed if a user hovers over an abbreviation in a post.
For better understanding, this is the original request by Disciple of Nagash, credits to him.
You can of course use this for any help text or something else too.

Features:
- fully language compatible using language files (english and german language included!)
- settings as known from all of my plugins
- complete new ACP page at the configuration tab

Note: If you do add a lot of abbreviations, it might slow down your forum. Decrease the ammount if you feel that sites are loading slower.
