Merged Ani's, Ele's and my threads on the same topic. It was a crap shoot as to whose title and whose name came out in the final version. Dunno how to control that. :dunno: Anyhoo, we can edit it if there's any consternation about the final version.

FBM, you merge the newer threads into the oldest one and it comes out on top. Whatever thread receives the other threads is the one the subject lines shows.

Oh. I thought it went the other way. Anyway, it rolled up with Ani's name and my title. If Ani wants, we can edit the title. Apologies to Elessarina all around.

Just picture it as taking things out of a folder and putting them in another folder. The target folder doesn't change, but the now-empty folder goes away.

You, Ani and I started separate threads about Man City's victory. Rum and Ani pointed that out, so I merged the threads, which is protocol. However, somehow my thread title was preserved, but with Ani showing as the OP. Do you think it needs re-fixing?

My one is first because it's the earliest. Your title was chosen because I presume you merged the other two with your thread.

It's not what I intended. I started with Ele's thread because I thought it was the first (should've been more keen on checking the times, I guess). I thought it would put her title and name up. I merged yours to hers, thinking that yours was second, then I merged mine last. I had it ass-backwards, apparently. :oops: Suggest a fix?

Yes. The last thread picked is the one the others are merging to.

Easiest fix is to edit the OP and manually change the title to the one you want.
