Just got a reply to a 2 year old thread I'd opened. The email notification subject was "SQLServerCentral - new reply ([TopicTitle])". The thread in question is not titled TopicTitle.

I got the same email, but it was to a different topic. The URL is https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost1851723.aspx

I've looked back a few pages to see if anyone brought this up but didn't see it.

I miss being able to see who submitted a question. It was handy to see their name and rank next to what they were asking.

EDIT - Nevermind. I found it's a hover function now. All is well.

I hate a hover function for such a thing. I might want to read a post just because of who authored it. I don't want to have to hover on the couple of hundred posts that I check out every day.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

I've gotten several like that, as well. The latest one came for "Todays Random Word" mega-post.

It seems to have cleared. I say that because I did see the 500 error last night but it still let me post.

@Damon,

By "Control refresh", do you mean hold down the CTRL key and press the f5 key in this case?

Okay, this is odd. I got the TopicTitle email for the Random Word thread in between Random Word notifications with the proper subject. Not sure why that would throw a TopicTitle when it was throwing the proper subject.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting like an inch & 1/2 of white space, when quoting other threads, between the last quote and where the cursor is for the start of our comments?

Yes, Yes I am (Pipes to show just how much). I've also had the [TopicTitle] email as well, the latest was for the Five Useful SQL Server Management Practices Article Thread.

Nope. Not just you. I get that, as well. 4 Blank lines between here and there.

I received the exact same thing this morning for the Random Word thread.

Yes, I see the same thing, but it isn't consistent for all threads. On some threads, I hit backspace twice, 3 times on others and it isn't necessary on some. I haven't figured out a pattern yet.
