    You are in luck! Because you are not the only one who has wondered about forum abbreviations, I wrote a blog post about this in the past. I posted it in the Fairfax Cryobank Blog for everyone to read. Please check out this blog Forum Abbreviations Explained.

    This covers just the most popular abbreviations. If there are any other questions, let me know and I will write another blog!
