Changing thread titles

Hi All,

I am testing the editing of thread titles to try and resolve this issue.

The original title of this thread was Test Title, as you can see once changed it is not - therefore I can get a normal basic registered member to edit a thread title just fine. You are all also Registered members and have the same permissions, so I am a little stumped!

If someone who doesnt mind can give me their password I will quickly nip in and see what the problem is - someone who hasn't been able to before


Thanks!

H, when I followed your instructions on the other thread I could do it fine.

If you want my password to have a play then PM me.

So Chels you can in fact edit these thread titles?

If so I don't need to test - I want someone who so far is unable to.


Thanks - odd others can't if you can?

Yeah I can - I went and re-tested with another thread.

I will go try with one that other people have replied to, or would that not be a factor?

[Queen Crabbit]

Harley, it won't let me do it on the Journal buddies thread, which i'm guessing is because someone has replied to it?

I used the same method i've used to do it for the others.

[Harley]

Hmm, yes that could be the factor.

not very useful is it!

Damn it, test some more and let me know - but again core forum functionality is a real sod to work out and modify

I'll go have a play now.

doesnt work http://ryl3.echointernet.net/forum/s...=6491#post6491 there or http://ryl3.echointernet.net/forum/s...=3752#post3752
there either

It isn't forum based though in any way?

Thats really what I want to check.

It does seem that threads that have been replied to by someone else cannot have their title changed unless it is requested by a Mod (which is dead simple with the post reporting but still) - not ideal, I will see what I can do but no promises.

Yep I think he meant not board specific (as in, works in R/V but not elsewhere, for example) which is the info you've already given just now.

I'm helpful. :)

I have looked at the manual for the forum and it seems clear that members cannot edit thread titles (didnt mention until someone else posts) - which I feel is a real annoyance. Members will have to report the thread and request a title change instead of doing it themslves. When members can delete their own posts that really does seem silly.


Looking at it I also doubt very much I will be able to do anything about it, nobody seems to have succeeded

Right - I have been playing

It works off a time limit, after which the thread starter cannot change the title (seems a bit silly to me)

Anyway I have now disabled that time limit so you should now all be able to edit the titles of your own threads

Yay!

Thanks H :]

Whoooo....It works!!

You can't do it just by clicking 'edie' but can if you go to 'advanced' - its all technical!!

Thanks Harley.
