Just a minor tidbit with the 'preview post' func. - Fragbait - 06-05-2003

Hail administrators,

I recently noticed something a little annoying: when hitting the 'preview post' function before posting your reply, the title of your reply changes back to: " Re: (the title of the former post) ".
Why is this the case? It's particularly annoying if you just wanted to answer in the title and the rest of your post is: 'no text'.

Just thought you could do something about it.
As I said, just a minor tidbit. Correct me if the solution is already widely known.


Greetings, Fragbait

Solution is to make sure you retype the title after previewing. :)

Problem is widely known, solution has not been found, it requires modifying the code. I don't know if anyone has really been looking at the board code besides my slow butt (dig for some of my old posts in here) and well I'm not official anyway. I know when I did a quick poke for that problem on my test board, I couldn't see why it was doing it, which meant I would have had to have poked harder.

At this stage I believe that 1.11 (yeah, 1.11, not 1.10) will be out before I finish doing anything with the thread hack. But I did my best to warn from the get go. :) I just answer these because I've gotten pretty familar with the board software.
