Bug: In Posts, Location is showing the post, not the forum

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the DU4 Bug Reports forum).

I don't know if this is what you intended. But posts is showing the post as the location instead of the forum. The field isn't large enough for the entire post name, so it is severely truncated.

If your post is an OP, then the location column shows the forum it is posted in (not bolded).

If your post is a reply, then the location column shows the post it is replying to (bolded).

Aside from the bolding, that's the same way it works on DU3.

The field is indeed truncated in order to prevent a lot of vertical space being taken up by that column.

I did notice that on that page in Skinner Mode, post titles on the left were *all* bolded, whereas only OPs should have been bolded. I just fixed that -- it should be more readable now.

And I see now that it is broadly the same as DU3. DU3 uses a much smaller font, so more of the post title is visible. I thought the forum name was in that column for some reason, but I guess not.

Thanks
