    I wound up just making a LiQL call for the subject and echoed it. 

     

    <#assign apiVersion = "2.0"/>
    <#assign featuresQuery = "SELECT subject FROM messages WHERE id='${env.context.message.uniqueId}'"/>
    <#assign subjects = rest(apiVersion, "/search?q=" + featuresQuery?url + "&restapi.response_style=view").data.items![] /> 

     

    <#list subjects as subject>
      <div class="lia-message-subject lia-component-message-view-widget-subject">
          <div class="MessageSubject">
              <h2 class="message-subject">
                  <div class="lia-message-subject">
                      ${subject.subject}
                  </div>
              </h2>
          </div>
      </div>
    </#list>

Inactive User @Nice  I need to figure out how to do this.  It annoys me that replies don’t follow the subject of the root post. Also that when notifications go out that each comment has a reply subject.  I didn’t want people changing subjects as it gets confusing when people change the subject on a couple comments in a thread and then you start getting emails with a different subject and you get confused on the topic. The downside though by hiding the subject is that the body comes through as the subject so now instead of seeing the root post subject there is no subject.  I liked how Jive handled this, hoping I can figure this out and it will solve my issues.  Moved comments should assume the subject of the new thread they’re moved to.  IMHO 

Arg. Anyone else notice on mobile it adds an @ after a mention like above before nice?
