I see some posts w/o a subject line when the post is opened. I see subject lines on my posts, yet I do not put subject lines when replying to posts.

Am I doing something goofy? Well... don't answer that - I always do goofy things... what am I doing wrong that puts subject lines in my reply posts?

    It grabs the first part of
    It grabs the first part of your post if you leave the subject line
    blank. As this should demonstrate.

    After a few attempts and some research, I figured
    out how to do it - lol :).

    ALT+255 puts an ascii blank character. Hold down the ALT key
    and hit the numbers 255 from the numeric keypad and release.

    A simple "space" won't do it.

    I learned my lesson on this one!
    I learned my lesson about this...I didn't put anything in the subject line and in the first sentence of the body I put something to the effect of "I hope you are able to get some rest". Well, guess what it picked up and put in the subject line? "I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO GET SOME"!!! Yes, I was horrified, especially because I am new here, but thankfully I caught it in time. :)
