 I am new to this board and am really excited to begin my MF journey.
 I do have some questions, what do all the acronyms mean please? is there a pinned post that explains them? are there rules somewhere that I can read.
 I would like to set my signature but not sure what I need to put on there.
 Very nervous and excited!
 Many thanks for your help.MFWB
