Larry, you do not need to manually enter in the trailing "(nt)" (for "no text") and some next-to-nothing text in the body of the Reply you are entering. I believe at one time there was a prerequisite that something must be in the Body. But no longer.

The forum software will automatically enter a "(NT)" as a prefix to your Subject line when there is NO BODY text.

Go to the "Test" forum (it is more appropriate there) and enter in a new discussion, or just reply to some existing test. There, just enter some subject line, and put in NO BODY text. See what happens.

Well, that's fine that you are telling us that, but what is the conditions you've found where the (NT) does not get added for us?
That way we can avoid those situations.

And, have the appropriate person(s) (probably Lee?) been informed? Perhaps this possible condition can be corrected.

I think that's best for forum feedback?

It's just like complaining too much about spilling errors. Unless its in the error message, we get the massage.

My posts were just that. Examples that this forum software isn't that great. At least they bandaided it in the worst spots.

Bob

PS. I hate English. Now would that be bandaids where needed or in the worst possible areas to put a bandaid?
