Ozymandias Posted September 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I hope this post is in the right place. Apologies if it is not. I often see the acronym 'eta' in people's posts. I'm sure it doesn't mean 'expected time of arrival'! It is usually followed by links to other places on the net. Can anyone tell me what it does mean? Thanks.

ChrLzs Posted September 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Why not Google - well, to be fair it can be hard to get something other than a very long list of acronym meanings that you have to wade thru in the hope of finding the one..... ETA - and now I'm beaten to it... It's usually estimated time of arrival, afaik, but maybe could be Edited To Add, or Extra Text Added? Give an example, or question it when you see it.

Ozymandias Posted September 26, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted September 26, 2017 To the Mods Sorry for putting that query in the wrong place. I looked for a Help or Support Desk but did not find it. I now know it is the last link on your Forums page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
