Great start. Here's some more.
What do the following abbreviations stand for (I didn't see them in the backgammon glossary)? PR, QF, RO, XG
PR = Performance Rating. This is an eXtreme Gammon statistic that is similar to Snowie's ER (Error Rate).
QF = Quiz Factor (which is in the backgammon glossary)
RO = Rollout (which is in the backgammon glossary)
XG = eXtreme Gammon
What is Zeus?
Zeus is a computer program developed by Frank Frigo, Chuck Bower and Bo Durickovic to analyze American football play decisions. You can find out more about Zeus here. Though posts about Zeus and football are off topic, they are usually tolerated if marked clearly so that uninterested readers can skip them.
Why are most of the links on the main BGOnline page to 2nd roll ATS rollouts and 3rd roll rollouts broken?
These rollouts have all been carried out but Stick hasn't gotten around to updating the website. If there is a particular position that you want the rollout for, ask and you shall receive.
When I export a position from XG to post here, should I copy as "HTML (using images)" or "BGOnline.org"?
Despite what Stick's tutorial says, it is better to use "BGOnline.org" because it will use locally loaded images, rather than linking to images from an external website.
Is there any other way to post positions other than through XG or GNU?
Yes, you can use this page to create diagrams that you can then cut and paste into your post. Be sure to click the BGOnline radio button in the bottom right corner first.
