Default Few random DPS questions.

Firstly abbreviations I see some here that I'm not used to on other sites so I thought I ask.

OP = Origional Poster (right?)
TFS = Thank you for sharing (right?)
yrt? = ????
DOF is this depth of focus or depth of field is it supposed to be DoF?

Secondly bumping whats the policy on this? Sometimes I really want to give something a bump in two situations. 1 its getting a lot of comments and they all dye out quickly. 2 I get no comments.

Regards,

Wes

I use OP as Original Poster and Original Post interchangeably. Pretty much the same thing anyway. DOF is Depth of Field.

I don't think I've seen those other two though!

I am a thread killer too so I will post here so that you get a comment but then you won't get any more

I've never seen the "yrt" one in any threads so I don't have a clue what that one means.

I think you've got all the others correct, though.

Dunno what YRT means, either. But the list I go to when I stumble across a TLA (three-letter acronym) I don't know on a photography board is this one.

Thanks Inkista, that's a keeper!

yrt, hmmm.. Maybe someone mispelled yet? LOL
or if they are looking at my first shots "You R Terrible".

And on a TLA photography sidenote:

so I was curious about YRT as well so I googled it and there were a couple of diff ones but the only I thought could relate was "Year Round Training"... the others I agree with!!

Would like to know about bumping too...

yrt? Any examples of that being used in a sentence? Initially I thought it was an abbreviation for "you are right" (or you're right), in text message speak. Now I'm not too sure anymore...
