Ok, It happend to me a few times that I was typing a topic, wanting to make it bold.
As I typed the entire topic & then hit "post new topic" without checking the box by accident.
I had to nag against a TM to close the topic so i could make a new one.
I think you should be able to change your topic to bold/red/italic or whatever after you've made it.
for example : you make a topic with an interesting item, but you see nobody is viewing it, you make it bold to get noticed.
Ofcourse you wouldn't be able to undo a bold/red/italic title.
But it's usefull and i don't see how it could hurt anyone.
Also, i'm not sure if this has been suggested before,
if it has.. I would still like some arguments why this shouldn't work.
Feedback please
