Whatever is supposed to happen, it's not happening for me.

That's where I tried double-clicking when I first saw your post (#13), Mike K, and all it did for me was highlight the title. So I thought I must be doing something wrong. What is supposed to happen?

It should allow you to edit the thread title, if you have started the thread.

Okay, that works, but I'm not so sure it's a good feature.

The problem is that if you started a thread and later want to change the title, you'll most likely navigate back to it through your list of subscribed threads on My RCGroups, but in that case the double-clicking trick doesn't work. Searching through a forum's thread list for a thread you started is usually tedious, and seems like something only an RCGroups beginner would do. If a beginner does that and then double-clicks the title with the intention of reading the thread, I wonder if he's more likely to accidentally change his title to something unreadable rather than actually benefit from the feature.

Yes, it's a niche feature.

How about this: load the advanced search form and start typing something in the user name field. Works for every field where you have to enter the user name: advanced search, member list, ignore list, friend list, send new PM, etc.

Yes, that's a nice feature. I wonder what "nohilite" means.

I don't know if you've seen this or not, but there's a cool feature when you quite someone. It shows a little blue arrow next to their name that is a link to the post the quote is from! I quoted Miami Mike to illustrate....
