Changing the thread´s title

DivingDuck · 11-28-06, 01:38 PM

Moin,

I know this has been asked more than once already, but til now it hasn´t been clarified whether one can change the thread´s title after a reply was posted. And for me it´s even impossible to change the thread´s title right after creating it.
My System: WinXP Pro, SP2, Firefox2.0, Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 9, Java Scripting and anything else is activated.
I even installed MSIE7 on a second machine to check whether it´s working, but unfortunately it did not. So, does anybody has an idea how to get this feature working?

But don´t link me to one of these threads: Editing post title to Update - by Reece / Changing a topic title - by Linton

I´ve read them from top to bottom.

Regards,
DD

You can change the thread title even after a reply was posted. I don´t know why it doesn´t work on your machine. And I don´t know why you started a new thread even though you knew that two threads about this topic already exist.

I'd like to state my findings on re-naming threads....I would like to edit a thread from say WIP to Released....

I use 3 different browers, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & IE and I have always been able to change the thread BEFORE the first reply but NEVER afterwards.

I have even verified that java is working by using the link Gizzmoe posted backalong. However, I think the content of this page has changed since....

I´ve googled a bit and found out that the admin can set a time limit for editing the thread title. It´s not possible to disable that limit, all you can do is to set it to an incredibly high value. At the moment it´s probably set at the default value (a few minutes).

I hoped Reece would show up with a solution on a silver plate after having so much trouble with that issue.

Is there any argument against setting the value high?

I'd like it if that value was set a bit higher myself.

There are times at which I have wanted to change those titles, and was unable to.

But if it is not something that Neal would like to change, then I understand.
