OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Welcome to Outdoorking Forum HELP Area Site Problems/Suggestions and Updates Thread Topics vs Post Subjects

Hi all,

Just a comment and suggestion:

On other forums (fora?) I tend to change the subject line to reflect the paticular subject of the post. I've started doing that here. This of course does not change the actual thread topic.

However, in the "Active topics" page it's actually the subject line of the most recent post that is listed rather than the thread topic. I find this a bit confusing as it doesn't reflect the original topic (thread heading) which is what the page "active topics" is called. It gives the appearance that the topic heading has changed and I've already had one run-in over this due to the misunderstanding.

My suggestion is to change this so it is the thread topic that is listed on the active topics page.

This is what happens on other forums (fora) I am on and to me it makes more sense.

The "Active Posts" page is where the subject line should be listed as that does relate to the post itself.

What do people think?

Or have I missed something (quite likely)?

** Some Thoughts **

Hi Pitrack_1

I've thought that too.
I recall it caused a bit of angst from a previous member, who
thought his topic had been changed. It's not common to change
topic headings. Perhaps you could put a bolded sub-heading in
the post body?

In any case, Bruce will see this post and take it on board as
a suggestion.

Hope this helps.
