biloba Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm just wondering why Peachy always ends up changing the subject heading. Some of it is getting annoying after a certain point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I've been changing them so that you can tell what the post is about without having to click it. It makes it easier to find past posts when there isn't page after page of "Help!!", "Do I have a chance??" etc. I can stop if if it's really annoying, I just thought it made things easier. (Also, the new software makes it really easy to change the titles ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubbed Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Of course, it's best to get this information from the source, but it seems that peachy changes the subject headings to make them correspond better to the thread topic. Some, not all, threads may contain headings such as, "urgent advice needed plz!!!!," which really aren't all that informative I've generally found peachy's changes to be useful in highlighting which threads that I want to read when the thread is active and after the fact when it isn't.

ploughboy Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 As others have pointed out, what's annoying is the non-specific thread titles that some people post. I'm glad that Peachy takes the time out of her schedule to come here, hang out and help keep the place tidy, and I hope she keeps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Law Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Peachy changes it to make it much, much more easy to read than those way too generalized "omg i'm dying" threads. Thanks Peachy for helping keep this forum so organized for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioboy2007 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have to applaud your hard work, peachy. We appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyMax Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hey, Peachy changes the subject headings to make them more descriptive and hence, relevant. AS has been pointed out numerous times before, subject headings like "Bad first four years, advice plz!", "My GPA is 1.3 but I know I can do better! Do I have a shot?!?" and "ppl plz HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" are not very specific nor helpful (and downright annoying). I think that she's doing a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmacgirl Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I like the fact that Peachy changes the heading because it help find topics that are relevant to me. It's also great when their is little time and you just want to read a few posts. Peachy has changed some of my subject heading and I would like to take this time to thank her for helping me make my topic more clear and get the best response from posters. Thank-you.

blinknoodle Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Everyone should make it their goal to make the subjects descriptive so that peachy does NOT have change them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks everyone Btw, when I use the board, it doesn't show me that the thread title has changed, or who has changed it. It just displays the new title. Is this different for other people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubbed Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 For this thread, the original thread title, as seen in the thread, and what appears on the general message board are different. There's no indication who has changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
