this was the new title box
Not sure if Greg did this on purpose or in error.
I noticed that instead of the title being copied that a new Title box appears, but doesn't work.Gad said:Same here.

It's not something that I ever considered important.dlgoff said:It seems the title is only on the first post of all PF threads.

This is a post title
Where is the advantage if a post has the thread title as post title?
Edit: Interesting. Post titles are not shown in the thread view, but you can still see them if you reply to a thread and look at the previous posts displayed there.

On purpose, Google sees it as keyword spamming.

Oh Noes, I am at the bottom of a thread and without thread titles in the post, I don't know the topic.
I'm not kidding.

I am sure there is some option to show the page title with Opera. The tabs show the first part of it, at least (same at Firefox).
Anyway, this title in the page source as part of the header:
<title>Title Not Copying? </title>

I know, but I have Opera specifically configured to NOT show the window title bar, as it usually just occupies the space on the screen and on most sites is completely useless.

No way. I am opening several at once while in the forum thread list and then I am working my way through opened tabs - and usually they open on the new post, which means they are already scrolled down.

But I understand your need to do it Greg.

Aww, now I can't make humorous alterations to the thread title anymore :(
When quoting someone else, the thread title was able to be edited in your post (and your post alone), so, there were ocassions where, when responding to a crackpot, I would alter the title to "The Musings of a Crackpot" or something similar. Most of those threads were deleted anyway.
