That's what I did. It just added the new title to the post. It didn't actually change the thread title.
I'll try again.

Cheers,

Nope. Sorry. I must be missing something.

If there is anyone out there who has actually had success in changing a Thread title, I would very much like to hear how you did it.

Thanx much,

I tried it a few times and it doesn't change the subject in the index pages. You only see the edited subject when you are reading the message itself. When you search for threads (old or new), the search results will show the old subject.

Okay. Well, I guess the last resort is to ask if a moderator can change a thread title for me, please? (Since the thread was moved from one forum to another, I don't think that is too much to ask is it?).

Thanx much,

PM me and I'll do it, if I can. I can't figure it out either

Which thread is this? Is it the one that got moved to Tank specs?? I'll move it out into reef so at least people see it there.

I just tried it and the feature does work.

Are you editing the FIRST post of the thread? It will only work if you edit that one. If you edit any of the subsequent posts, it will only edit the title of that individual post.

Johnny Reefer · #20 01-17-2006, 04:38 PM

Yes, the first post.
But I don't want to edit the title of the post.
I want to edit the title of the whole Thread.
I've tried everything I can think of, but there seems to be no feature that enables members to edit a Thread title.
Maybe mods have the ability?....

Thanx much,
