Replace Blanks And Re:'s In Subject Heading

Wasn't sure if there's an existing script that I just can't find or if this should be a new request...

I'm reducing the security level on my board to allow for visitors to post, affecting the subject headings in replied posts, leading to either blank subjects or long strings of Re:'s.

Is there a script that replaces blank subject headings in the reply screens of posting visitors with the subject of the post being replied to?

Try this in your Custom Footer:

 
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementsByName("subject")){
        document.getElementsByName("subject")[0].value = document.title.replace(" - www.ezboard.com","").replace(/(re\:)+/ig,"Re\:");
}
</script>

Re: Replace Blanks And Re:'s In Subject Heading

I have a similar problem and can probably use this code with mods, but I'm not javascript savvy.

Okay, I have people who don't log on before posting and they're too lazy to type in a title, LOL, so they type in three dots or three sss's, like so:

...

or

sss

Which results in a lot of posts that start with:

Re:...

or

Re: sss

Very annoying!

Is there a way I can replace those with the real subject line?

Thanks!
