Subject line - 1) editing, and 2) no maximal length?
Two of my pet peeves are that 1) one can not edit the subject line, after posting the message (even though one can edit the actual message) - I often type in typos, or other mistakes on the subject heading (I just did on a posting on the AC forum - spelling "to" as "ot"), and 2) sometimes the subject line does not allow me to post a heading beyond a certain length.
I wonder if there is any way one can get around these 2 limitations in the subject line right now, or if not, whether in the future with further enhancements to this bulletin board, these limitations may be eliminated?

1. Only FT staff can do that. Solution .. read it carefully before hitting "submit". 
2. So you want LONGER headings than 3 lines possible now? Huh?

Subject lines not long enough? Perhaps being concise helps.
If you recognise that there are limitations, then learn to live with it. Upgrading the BB software that FT runs on has been shown to be simply not practical for various reasons which have been explained many times before. Too bad, because an "ignore user" feature sure could come in handy.
