Topic rather than Thread as an option [message #4200]

Could there be an easy way to dumb-down the terminology: an option to use the term Topic instead of Thread throughout the forum?

It may be more appropiate on some forums whose visitors are less techie. It seems a minor concession to make so as not to ostracize my jargon-phobic guests.

And of course, Thread being the default setting.

I agree that Thread is a more technical term, while topic seems to be something everyone would be familiar with. Therefor I will replace Thread with the word Topic were applicable.

I'd rather not have 2 different words describing the same thing to avoid confusion.

Great! That should alleviate some newbie angst.
