If people hit "PostReply" button in the top-left the subject is not being populated.

Subjects are not required for replies. I don't see the issue here.

This makes it pretty much impossible for me to say much of anything in context so I'm just deleting these without much attention. So far today it seems like this must be at least 50% of the traffic. Are others seeing this also? Is anything about this caused on my end? If this is happening because the default in the forum is to not quote the previous part of the thread I can completely understand that. That's the way a forum should work since you can see the post immediately above. However if that sort of post in the forum is sent to the email list without any context it's almost useless here I think. Thanks, Mark
