    Editing Doesn't change subject

    I quess we lost the ability to edit the subject of a thread? You seem to only be able to edit the title of a post.

    Re: Editing

    We admins have something called thread tools at the top, under which is where the title editor is (thread edit, not post edit). Do you have that?

    only admins and supermods get those options same as double clicking on the title without being in the thread... neat trick if someone speaks engrish and you can't understand the title...

    Re: Editing

    We have the thread tools option, but no title edit option.
    You can edit the title in the individual posts, but not the subject of the thread. So no one will be able to change time, or dates of events they are posting, or mark something sold in the subject in the for sale section.

    I had no problems making an edit to my subject line once I clicked the advanced tab. Worked like a charm.

    Re: Editing

    No Dana, that doesn't change the topic title like in the old forum. This one splits out topic and post titles (cause we need that? oh well). The topic title is changed under a different page that apparently not everyone can get to. I'll play with the permissions and see if it's possible. It's also going to be set on a per-forum basis, so it might work in some forums and not others. Grr.

    Worst case, have a moderator do it. They're here to be useful, usually.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I did this in the first post, as you see the title of that post changed but the thread subject title did not.
