Idk, this is probably nothing, but when you edit a topics title the posts made before it still say "re: (old name)." You can see at the very top of a new post it still says the old title. The first post is correct, but all after first post and all before remain unchanged, if topic names had bad titles like one of mine it could be bad lol.
Example is [ here ]
Change topic name error.

Re: Change topic name error.
If you mean AFTER the first post (which has been edited) ... then that's normal.
The reason is that you can specify a unique subject for each post. So if the topic is "Sometopic" and you reply to it, you can change it to "adlfkjadlfj" and that will be shown as your post's topic. But if you don't change it, the default stays. Point is: each post has its own database entry for "subject" so when you go to the very first post and edit the title (subject) it changes it for that post and that post only.
When you're looking at a list of topics, it shows the topic (subject) for the first post only. So if the first post's subject was "1" and the second was "2", third was "3", etc. Then the name of the topic in the forum list would be "1".
I hope that makes sense.
