Subject: "Hey Bungie, take a look at this!" Oddity Spotted on Foru...

Oddity Spotted on Forums


While I was browsing through The Flood, I noticed a purculiar oddity, the subject within the post had somehow been changed on a later page (page 6), but the subject remained the same across later pages.

Proof:

-Page 1
-Page 201
-Page 6 Oddity

Link to thread.

As evident, the subject description on page 6 now reads: "I'm in your threadz, changin your titlez". Surely this then means this is not some accident, as it can be implied there was intent behind the action. Also, another contributing factor as to why this person would have done it is because this particular thread is at the top of the "Top Forum Topics", thus it could be seen and this persons 'computer-ego' could be boosted(which funnily enough hasn't happened, until now) .

That is very strange...

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Maybe it is the ghost of the forums.

That's not surprising considering some of the members here. Posting polls in thread anyone?

When you're on any page within a topic, the title at the top of the page shows the subject of the post at the top of the page. Stay with me here. Just say someone starts a topic with the subject "Title A," the replies to the post will also have the subjet "Title A". Now if the title is changed to "Title B," the pre-edit replies will still have "Title A" whereas the new replies will have the subject "Title B". It's difficult to explain but easy to understand when you see it happening. If you look at a long topic that's had several title pages, you can see the title change by looking at different pages of the topic.

A little while ago, during the time that the topic linked to in OP was created, when you replied to a topic, you could change the subject of your post. So if you replied to a topic, changed the subject to "lol, banana" and your post was at the very top of page 2 in the topic, the topic title on page 2 would show as "lol, banana".

That was a pain to write, probably a pain to read too.

You used to be able to edit the "Subject" field when replying to a thread. If you were the first post on a page, then whatever you typed in would be displayed as the thread's subject on that page. That would only carry on through to later pages if everyone replied to you, or replied to a post that replied to you etc., therefore inheriting your edited title.

I sort of understand where you are coming from. You're certainly right that this is not the easiest thing to understand. Thanks very much though for taking the time to type that up and explain it as clear as possible.

That's a olddddddd bug, you used to be able to change the title if you were first in the page, you can see he edited it so he realized he was on top of page and changed it. I don't think its possible anymore though, after all that is a very old thread.
