Changing a Thread Title? Changes can be made within 24 hours

DVDA · 11-24-2009, 12:06 AM

I searched for this question and I saw 8 posts with 0 replies of people asking the same question....maybe ill get lucky and receive an answer

How do you change a thread title? I sometimes do it accidently, I try to click my thread to read new posts and it lets me edit a title but right now when I trying to do it on purpose it wont.

Is there restrictions on changing thread name after certain number of posts? or in a certain forum? cant figure it out

P.S. Editing the first post does nothing for the thread title when looking at list of threads

Thanks gang

See a mod just changed it to "Whoa, how did that happen" and I was able to double click to the right of thread title (under thread list) and erase "Whoa, how did that happen" but on my other threads I cant

Why?

I can change the thread title of this post, but not my other ones, so there must be a post limit or date limit

I don't understand what you mean. You're asking how you change a thread title, yet you've been changing it all along? So you know how... but you're asking how?

Like -=Hot|Ice=-, I thought Edit > Go Advanced on your initial post in the thread allows you to change the title.

There's a forum for site feedback and questions. I'm moving this thread there. Maybe someone there will be better able to help, but I think you need to clarify your question a bit more.

Thread titles can be changed for up to 24 hours after the thread is created.

Jason answered it, thanks BK and of course Jason

You guys can delete this thread altogether, now that the mystery is solved

Maybe it's better to close it, just in case someone else wants to know.

Best regards,
