Stop doing that! - 10/27/09 12:54 PM
Why is it even possible to change the content of the Subject line for each post? When you do that (you know who you are!) then your new line replaces the OP's chosen Topic Title (Subject) with yours on the Home > Forums page. Not only does that seem like Topic-jacking or Subject-jacking or whatever, but subsequent posts feed off of it when people just click the last "Reply To" button to add their two cents. So why isn't Topic-jacking or Subject-jacking just as offensive (generally) as Thread-Jacking?
There certainly are enough terms for the same thing! The button to start a Thread says New Topic, and we also can designate Watched Topics, but, the heading above the, uh Topics says Subject / Poster.
Maybe we need to merge them. But, back to my complaining... When I see a Topject/Subjic(Subpic?) that I've not seen before on the Forums page, I think, "Oh, a new Thread". Then I find out it's an alias. Grumble, grumble...
