Thread Title Conundrum

[BuckSkin]

I just learned something about thread titles; they will not acknowledge portions that are copy/pasted.

I recently created a thread with three words in the title, 27 characters including the spaces; I typed the first word and pasted the other two.

After a bit, I noticed that only the first word was displaying.

At first, I thought I had forgotten to paste in the other two words.

I clicked "Edit" and there were all three of my words in the title bar.

I clicked "Save Changes" and still only the single word was displaying.

I went into Edit again; and, this time, I deleted the two missing words and manually typed them in = that fixed it.

So, the moral of this story is...., copy/paste must not work for titles... at least not in this case.

For some reason I thought I had copy and pasted a title ... I'm too lazy to type 
Good to know.

I tried to duplicate your experience, but was unsuccessful; the copy/pasted words did show up in the thread title.

If you are willing, please try again and let us know your results BuckSkin.

I will try to remember to repeat my performance on my next thread.

Remember --- I actually typed the first word and then pasted the other two words.

Yes, that is what I did also.

Using Chrome, it did the exact same thing again.

In my Share Your Work thread "Cincinnati Eastern Railroad", I manually typed Cincinnati and pasted Eastern Railroad.

When I submitted the thread, all that showed up as a title was "Cincinnati"

I edited, hand-typing "Eastern Railroad" and it worked.
