Hmm, I thought about this some more and making the Subject readonly does get us get us halfway there, so I put that change back.

New Topic from within a forum isn't letting me enter a subject.

LOL!  I just realized it too when I tried to create a new thread.

I just backed out the change.  Sorry about that. Embarrassed

No worries.  I just modified an earlier one-post thread of mine that everyone ignored.   Wink

Eeek.  But modifications don't register on recent posts so it's on page 87.   Angry

I think I've got the workaround working properly now.  When replying, the Subject field is now readonly, but not when creating a new thread.  Also, when replying, the subject field should be pre-filled with the subject of the original post, and not the subject of the post that you're replying to.

Well if the subject is read-only then wouldn't the subject of the post your replying to have to be the same as the original?

Not always, that's why this is more complicated than it appears at first. 

Example:

- Aske creates a thread called "Masters OMG!!!!  I <3 Tiger!"
- stroh replies to the original post and propagates the original title.
- Aske goes back and edits the original title to now say "Masters (Spoiler)"
- Now if spaceage goes and quotes stroh's post, previously, spaceage's reply would now have a readonly subject of "Masters OMG!!!!", but after this change spaceage's reply has a readonly subject of the original post, which has been changed ("Masters (Spoiler)").

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I had forgot about edits. Smiley
