What is it with this recent spate of threads with particularly long titles? Explain!

5. Why a pm dissapears when I hit the back button ( 1 2)

Is it an attempt to be clever? a cry for attention? normal?

Well, I just wish the forum software wouldn't put the title of the link in the link twice. It looks all right when you preview the post but - after you post - the link gets added again. It doesn't happen with external links so it's got to be a bug.

Another one for DD or Xzyte to look into...

Perhaps because Short titled threads are usually filled with "a bit more detail in your title might help with the reply you seek"

My vote goes to cry for attention.

I don't understand why my title gets 3 lines in your post. I can only see 1.
I,m posting in the Newbie thread looking for help, and I thought posting the title as a specific problem I was having ,might get me direct responses to help me,so as to not waste the time of people that just wanted to sound off.
And no I'm not a frustrated wanna be novelist that wants to include the first chapter in the Title

a bit more thought writing the title might help
