I use the trackback module for my formal articles and essays. I looks a bit unprofessional when the trackback module is classifying my work a "post", for example:

http://www.technologyandchange.com/articles/china-s-attack-on-the-blogos...

Instead of saying:

"Trackback URL for this post:"

Consider instead:

"Trackback" or "Trackback URL"

Hint: You can change that using the locale-module (it's in Drupal core) by "translating" the string...

Feel free to change this :
1. open tracback module
2. look for this line in trackback_nodeapi function

if ($node->can_receive) {
  $node->body .= $autodetect_comments ."\n";
  $node->body .= theme('box', t('Trackback URL for this post:'), url('trackback/'. $node->nid, NULL, NULL, TRUE));
}

3. change the sentence by whatever you want.

Maybe a bugger patch could be commited to allow user to change this in the settings, but I'm not sure.

And personnaly, I don't feel that the "post" word deprecate your work. Users will see the content of your ... let's say node :D and appreciate it. Nice site BTW

You beat me Uwe, I thought about this change, but I don't feel confident with "translating" this kind of strings and changing the whole site language.

Well, you can answer me that modifying code...

Is this issue still outstanding? It's a two-word change that can be done by other means on a live site. If anyone wants to see "Trackback URL for this post" changed to "Trackback URL", speak now or forever hold your peace... where now means in the next 2 or 3 days.
