Changing thread titles (sic) See I changed your original post

Post by Bruce Fielding » Fri Apr 13, 2007 5:31 pm

I know the title is spelt incorrectly. I did it on purpose

How can one change it?




Have I done it?

As far as I know you can just change it when you press the 'Modify' button the way I have with the title after quoting your post.

Here's where you change it.

exactly!

But, since you made the first thread in the post, when you change that, it will change the name of the thread too, instead of what I changed as an example above

But you haven't changed the thread title, just the one in your posts...

Bruce, you have to modify your first post, not the Subject of the reply......

1: open your inital post by selecting modify
2: change the spelling of Chanmging to changing as you did in your 2nd to last post.

check out this post you were replying in yesterday

notice how I changed the name of the thread, the subject in the posts before the change stay the same, but the title of the whole thread changed, and also, any subsequent posts made after I made the change to the initial thread subject line, continue with the new name.

You can change the thread title in your OWN reply easily. Only the original poster can change the Thread Title by editing their first post as it appears in the Forum listings. Whatever reply ones title haas depends on what the thread title is when they reply or if they manually modify it.

Moderators, like yourself Bruce, can also change other peoples initial posts in a thread just like Driver has with Kin's to show his Atom has been Sold.

Changing it from 'Mint condition 245 for sale' to 'Mint condition 245 for sale - Sold'
