The subject does not change just the border around the subject box turns red and a window drops down with

Subject: the topic is enclosed with a border that turns red

Use Firefox as it is a superior browser

I was considering using it as a back up browser.

(( Re: What causes this message when you try to post in some threads. ))

To many character in the title.  To get past that, do the following:>>  Inside the red box, delete the "Re:" and spaces before the fist character of the title.

Like this:>>  delete to here>>What causes this message when you try to post in some threads.

Firefox has nothing to do with the error.  It is a Asopsretreat thing...

If your only betting a buck, then your not to sure yourself.  In any event I don't use Firefox, so no bet...

Because there is a limit how many characters you can type in Subject some browsers will let you know you typed (copied) too many some will let it go and then after posting you can see unfinished-like subject on the forum.

Any dumbo knows that but right-wingers are unusually dumb.

Compared to Obamaphiles, right wingers are geniuses.

I guess I don't understand where you are getting this error message because when replying to a post, if you try to change the subject it will only allow you to use so many characters in the first places. It stops you from entering more than allowed.
 
My guess is that somehow whatever you typed was not recognized by the Editor and thus it thinks nothing was typed. Or the field was left empty.
That's happened to me a few times and I have no idea why.
 
I'm Using IE: 10.

Here is briefly what happens jim:>>

When you reply to a post that has a title of 69 characters, for instance. The title box will add "Re:space", that kicks the characters up to 73.  3 characters past the limit.  However, as jst the fax pointed out, Firefox doesn't give that error.

I use IE11.  But for testing I used Firefox.  The error did not appear...
