topic title editing

[Steel_Stallion]

well, im not sure if its a bug, maybe it was intended that way. but if you try editing your title on your first post when you make a thread, it doesnt change, it just changes the name of the topic inside the thread so from the index it still looks like the same name

are users supposed to be not able to edit the name of their threads? if not they should be!

 

[Mini-Me]

That's how it has always been, so I doubt it's a bug.

 

[Pyritie]

Yup. Only moderators can change the name of a topic after it has been created.

You change the post title when editing the first post.
But I doubt you can change the thread title.

Why aren't we allowed to edit our thread titles Ralle?

Why aren't we allowed to edit our thread titles Ralle?

The mods and admins want to see if we made some very stupid name so they can note it

Or at least that was the explanation for why we cant edit in off topic and something else

Where the heck is the poll so I can vote for, "Yes, this feature would be most useful."
Maybe you can limit the number of times we can edit, or only edit within 5 minutes or so.
EDIT: Maybe a log if you're paranoid.

I agree, i dont see any real reason why we cant edit our own topic titles.

A vote could be usefull.

Good idea with the within 5 min edit, as normally you wont fix mod interesting post in 5 mins, first when a mod notice.

And that should also count for normal post, as spellfixing then might occur.

But problem is it would be some work for the admins to make.

It is part of the forum software, and something that would, I presume, not be a simple change.
