Why do you keep changing the subject back to your nick? The Subject is supposed to be be informative about the matter being discussed which isn't yourself.

Sorry about that. I haven't changed the subject back to my nick. When writing this post in reply to yours I had to change it from my nick, despite clicking reply to your post which has the correct title. I hadn't noticed this happening when replying previously or I would have changed those too. I thought I'd changed the title in my first post and had to edit the post once I noticed. This is probably why my nick is still automatically used in any replies.

Bws,
Jos

Edit: PS I've just replied to another message and Jos390 appeared automatically as the subject again! I changed it to the correct subject and posted it, but it changed it back to Jos390 and I had to go in and edit the post to correct it again. Every time I post, reply or edit a post the subject is always Jos390. Is this a common problem or a Firefox issue?

Peculiar! I just replied to your post w/out changing Subject and it carries straight thro'.

I wonder if there's a special rule for OPs to carry forward Subject of OP? Never noticed that before.

EDIT: No, there isn't! Just tested it on 1 of my OPs.

I think it's something to do with the automatic form filling 'feature' in Firefox. If I delete my nick from the subject and press the down arrow whilst the cursor is in the text box, all of the titles I've used so far are listed and available to select - but Jos390 is the top of the list and is automatically selected first. I'll just have to remember to check in future.

best wishes,
Jos

You shouldn't be pressing any down arrow. You just need to delete or highlight what's already there and just start typing.
