This morning I Started a thread that was supposed to be called HAVE YOU SEEN ORLANDO? THE MOVIE, THAT IS. I previewed it and noticed it only said HAVE YOU SEEN as the thread title. I was tired and for some dorky reason I thought "oh, the rest of it will show up when it gets to IMHO.  
Needless to say… so I hit replies and asked if a mod could please change it for me. I realize they don’t have to, but I can’t remember when they haven’t.  
At any rate, it wasn’t changed, and the title makes little sense as it reads.  
Did I do another stupid thing. I shouldn’t have emailed a mod directly, I don’t think. Or…

A mod’ll get to changing it as soon as they read it. They’re usually pretty good about that, but it might take a bit for them to get to that thread sometimes.

I’m betting you had Orlando in quotation marks, as there’s some bug in vB that erases the thread title starting with the first quote mark when you preview. Pretty much everyone who reads it will figure out that’s what happened, except maybe for some of the newer people who haven’t seen it happen yet.
