Very limited crossposting, with links can be allowed in cases where it makes sense. That is one cross post with a link back to the original thread where discussion takes place. This seems to fulfill that criteria.

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling

However, the title is useless, and there is plenty of room in the title field for, say "Do You Have Connection Issues Since i17?" As such, many people would miss this thread, making it a waste of space that ~20 keystrokes could have alleviated.

Hmmm appears my edit to make the title more informative only makes the change in the thread.

You can hover over the thread in the thread list and see the first few words of the post. In this case, when you hover over "Do You Have...?", the following shows up:

This is a pointer thread to http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=2836795

If you have had connection problems since the release of i17...

Most of my browsing of the forums is done on a phone. Hovering is not possible; therefore, your suggestion doesn't work for myself, or anyone else using a mobile device. I also think (but cannot say for sure) that people who turn off JavaScript in their browsers can't get the popups.

Correct. The ability to edit titles is pretty much useless. I don't know why it's even there. :/
