[JJR512]

Where is this additional text field supposed to go? Since you don't want to have a second page, I guess it's supposed to go on the newthread page, is that correct? My first impression of this idea is that if it's a new textarea on the newthread page, then you have to fill it out separately, whereas the way my hack works, on the second page, it's already filled out. You don't have to do anything to it, if you don't want; you could just submit it. Or if you want it to be shorter, you can shorten it manually, taking out whatever parts you don't want and leaving whatever you do want, which I feel is better than just being limited to the first xx-number of characters. (Sometimes I don't want the first few lines because it has redundant or unnecessary data.) It is what you leave in the textarea on the second page that goes to the front page.
