Changing Thread Title

doIhavetoReally · Feb 8th, 2009, 18:27

:Namaste:

How can I edit the title of thread that I created?

Thanks

I think you need to ask a moderator to do that for you.

nayan · Feb 8th, 2009, 19:25

Manoj is right.
Send a PM to any of the moderators(they are listed on the home page) with the details.

what would you like done?

Haylo · Feb 8th, 2009, 20:32

Are you SURE it takes a moderator to do this?

I thought that for a while at least after creating a thread, going back to your OP, picking "Edit Post" then "Go Advanced" gave the option to change the title of a thread. I'm sure I have done this myself.

Even I thought it takes a moderator to do it! Nayan I thought you were a mod?

karuna · Feb 8th, 2009, 20:53

She is, as is BB and also myself- we need to know what needs doing first!

mridula · Feb 8th, 2009, 20:56

Karuna and I thought all the mods had a signature identifying them but I can now see that I was wrong

karuna · Feb 8th, 2009, 21:13

That was a kind of offical unofficial sort of thing. I think.

I'm dying to know what this thread title is.

Haylo · Feb 8th, 2009, 21:28

Members can change their own thread titles, at least for as long as they have the rights to change their OP.

I know, because I have just done it [defunct link removed]. Do feel free to delete my thread, it was only a test. Sometimes I just can't help myself from trying things, it's the geek in me!

Nick-H · Feb 8th, 2009, 21:49

Ho! I never knew. Yes, you can.

You have to Go Advanced from the EDIT dialogue, and on that page you can change the title.

Thank you all for your replies. Now I can't find 'edit post' option on my OP..towards the end of the post I see 'quote', 'multi-quote', and 'quick reply' options..but not the 'edit' as some of you mentioned.

I want to add to the title the word "Video" as I posted a link to the video also..

Then it will be a thread you created before today, you have a time limit as to how long you have to make amendments yourself, after which it can only be changed by a moderator.

I'm sure that the moderators will be happy to do this for you.

Your wish is my command.

The edit option doesn't last forever, it depends how long ago you posted the thread. If anyone else needs a thread title changing, just PM a mod.
