The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Interesting, I didn't think it was something amenable to a technical solution!

I apoologize for the lack of clarity but the problem I fixed was a little different to what you were pointing to - though it often crosses over.

Formerly you could create a post without a subject and the start of the article text was then used automatically as the subject. In the spirit of removing as many barriers as possible.

Occasionally that was occuriny with quite a few posts created without a subject, so the subject was slightly meaningless and nearly always incomplete.

I changed that yesterday so that the subject is explicitly requested if you try to post without it.

That doesn’t solve the specific problem you saw, though, in which a subject is typed incomprehensibly. I’d need a “good taste” detector which is pretty hard to programme (but gosh I’d love someone to invent one for purposes well beyond Shrewd’m).
