I think you should be able to close your own threads.

I always wanted to know how to change thread titles?

I thought you couldn't?

thank you, thats so easy to do.

cant believe i didnt figure that out.

Thermopylae_480 · Sep 24, 2007, 12:23 AM

Hitting edit and changing the title in the dialog box it gives you doesn't work. That only changes the title of the post, not the whole thread. At least that has been my experience.

zekrahminator · Sep 24, 2007, 12:24 AM

I think you can change the thread title that way in the first five minutes or so of the thread existing (or maybe that's just in the news posting interface).

I know I have changed a thread title before using that method? Could it have been changed?

Thermopylae_480 · Sep 24, 2007, 12:26 AM

I just tried using the edit method on two seperate threads of mine that were older. It didn't have any effect other than changing the title of the initial post; not the thread title.

That may be it. I only ever changed the title after just making the post because of spelling mistakes.

thats is what i had in mind, say you wanted to fix spelling errors or found out you need to say it differently because the responses are not what you were looking for and wanted to fix it yourself.

im not saying you should let us delete posts or anything like like.

pt · Sep 24, 2007, 02:20 AM

well, if we can't edit titles (like i think we should) then pls add this function
you can't do much harm with it

You can but theres only a 5min window so you would have to catch the error pretty quickly lol.
But yeah we should be able to edit our post titles whenever we want.

Chewy · Sep 24, 2007, 02:50 AM

I tried editing my post title since I messed up on it today and I couldnt see an option though I didnt look to had in the edit post option.

overall theses fourms rock and I dont see anything wrong with them/mods.. I havent gotten a warning or anything like that ever since I joined.

the trouble with the 5 min thing is, for me anyway, im too slow to catch it right away.

sometimes i have 5 or 6 posts from members and then get told "hey did you know you screwed this up"

Closure of a thread should be a moderators decision based only on the fact that a thread has got out of hand or is infringing rules.
