If you don't preview your post when making an NT reply, the NT does not show up! Olease hit preview post first! Then submit it! Really is a PITA when you open a post and there is no subject

Good advice, Sue

I have noticed that recently, also.

For myself, however, I open all posts, including NTs, if it is a thread I am following. If I don't, then it will continue to show that there are unread posts. So I just click through them regardless of whether there is anything in the body of the post or not.

Someone also mentioned some time ago that NT posts do not show up in a search. So I suppose if you wanted your NT post to be available in search you could intentionally not do the extra step of Preview prior to Submit.

And I've already learned that, just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do it.
