Hi. I have a question. A minor technical one, but about something I've noticed.

Sometimes, when I'm replying to someone and type in my title bar, the text is light gray. Sometimes it is black.

What does this mean?

1. That happens in LBN if you start typing the subject line before the page fully loads.

There is some javascript that loads when starting threads in the Latest Breaking News forum that makes the prompt text grey in the fields for article, link, and source - the text changes back to black when you type/paste in the required data.

Even though that script is written for opening posts, it also runs when posting replies in LBN. Usually it has loaded and run before you start typing the text for the reply title - so it doesn't really do anything - but if you start typing the title before the script has run (it runs when the page has completed loaded) then the text turns grey when the script executes.

Shorter answer: it doesn't really mean anything - it's a minor glitch from a script used when starting LBN opening posts that also happens to load when posting a reply.
