    I don't think I am particularly thick, but could someone please explain what "OT" means at the start of so many threads.

    This only seems to have started happening so regularly in the last three or for months! :huh:

    It's specifically for non football related posts, not just QPR. Previous Mods had complaints from some members about non-related football subjects. By having OT in front of an OP ( Original Post or Original Poster ) it alerts a member that it is a non-football related post and can that they can avoid it should they wish to do so.

    Welcome to the board Keith. If you click the link at the bottom of my signature ( The one in blue ) it will give you all the guidelines and rules pertaining to the site and our board. Enjoy <ok>

    Thanks for the reply QPR999 (and Ciarrai_Abu)! I understand now.

    I have been around for a while, but usually tend not to post too often, but
    rather prefer reading and enjoying the latest posts/banter and catching up on the latest news etc! :smile:

    Keith, your profile is odd. You've been signed up here for 2 and a half years yet you've only got 7 posts to your name? :confused:
