I think this adds a lot to the cluttered look within each thread. Every post does not need to have the tread title. Just let it be at the top of the page. As it is, it's confusing to the eye when you a scanning down a page going though a thread, and it just looks bad. Please sent it on to oblivion, thank you.
And just an FYI note to anyone who uses Firefox: the HC Stylish mod is very good for the main forum, looks much like the old forum.
vBulletin let you change the subject line in a post, and you can do the same thing here. If people use it, it could provide a quicker way to scan through what a post is about.
)If it could be upper/lower case, then it wouldn't be screaming for your attention as much.
)I dunno, I'd like to see the option to summarize the post, unless no one ends up using it.

It would be nice if we could choose to make a title for our post but it shouldn't do it automatically for every post IMO. Just make it work like the vbulletin forum did.
The ability to add a title IF you want is the way to go.
GRRR...just clicked 'cancel' instead of 'post' again. Why are these buttons the opposite way around to nearly every other piece of software?
At least the new site saves the message that was 'cancelled'.

if someone removes the text from the Subject line while posting, then the first line they typed into the Body is picked up and used as the Subject line. Not very intuitive, and certainly not what the user had intended.
I just did it here, as an example.
Another thought; if the same thing is usually repeated in each title, most users learn to ignore/skip past it - missing when someone types something they actually intend to be read.
Much better to not have a title in each post unless the user specifies so.

You nailed it. Maybe they just don't know how to turn it off??
