ORIGINAL: geofflambert Somebody managed somehow to change the header on this thread beginning with this page (34) from "Things to Ponder" to "Re: You just can't fix stupid". Now I get lots of emails in my spam folder whose subjects are "Re:" something or "Fwd:" something. I always wonder how stupid the people are who send spam like that. Where'd these idiots get that from??? Do they actually think people put that crap in their emails and in the case of "Fwd:" that their spam targets will actually forward the spam somewhere? Well, somebody thinks they are very clever and have somehow changed the header on this thread. Thank you very much. Must be a bug/flaw in the forum software. I assure you it was not done thinking it to be clever... It was done for a single thread to emphasize the stupidity of people actually falling for a youtube tutorial to drill a hole in their iphone to replace the headphone jack. With other forum software, IF you can change the topic for an individual post, it's not supposed to bleed into other followup posts unless in direct response nor is it supposed to change the main topic header at the top of the page. Even worse, now that it has been pointed out, the original poster can't use the "edit" function to correct it back to blank (no entry). The software doesn't allow it!!! More Goofy behavior, allowing a subtopic change and then not allowing it to be edited back if there was a problem. Kinda ironic however, looking at it from the viewpoint of the forum posting program/designer, they really "Just can't fix stupid" when they allow a programming oversight like that into their forum software programming. It might be able to be corrected by a moderator so if a moderator reads this go right ahead and correct it if you can.
