New Forum Feature - Word Lookup

I am in the process of testing a new feature that I call "Lookup."

The way it works now: You can double-click on any word in a forum post, and it will refer you to our Bonsai Encyclopedia. I mean ANY WORD that is not already linked. Yes, I am talking about EVERY WORD.

Of course the Encyclopedia only has entries for a few hundred words at this time, and they are all bonsai related. In the future maybe I will add a link at the encylopedia for other reference material.

The next time you see a bonsai related word in a post, give it a try and see what happens. If there is no definition when you get to the Encyclopedia, maybe you could create one!

NOTE: This feature is based on JavaScript, so if you don't have it enabled on your browser, it won't work.

Regards,

Matt

Astonishing. This is how the internet should work.

Matt, that just may be the single coolest feature I've seen on anything.

I said... ANY word!

Well not EVERY word, but why not give it a try?
