Can't edit title of thread?

[gameoftheyear]

I can't seem to be able to edit the title of a thread I started. I edit the original post for an update and change the title, but it only changes the title that is above the post, not the title of the thread itself that you see with the list of threads in a forum catagory.

Is there a way to do this / am I missing something?

Thanks

After you click edit, click the Go Advanced button.

I did click advance and edited it that way, it only changed the title of that post within the thread but not the title of the thread itself.

Same problem I have with my Avast thread in Security Forum ,won't let me edit my thread title to new updated version ,only lets me edit the first post even via edit go advanced section,guess its a bug?

Try this.
1. Go to Forum and double click to the right of the title.
2. Title will be highlighted as a box opens around it.
3. Edit title.
4. Profit.

Doesn't work for me... any chance I can get a moderator to edit the title of my thread (just once!)?

Edit: Thanks to whatever mod helped out! Presumably Oldsmoboat, but maybe not.

Thanks, this thread saved me.

Since going to VB you can't do it by editing your OP. I saw a post that explained that you could do it by clicking (right clicking?) the topic title in the list of threads for the forum, and I tried it and it worked. But I just created a thread and don't find that functionality. Did it change? 😕

No.

Clicking "Go Advanced" after going to the edit screen of the OP to edit thread titles works for me. At least that's how it works in the BST....

No.

So, how do you do it? I tried and tried and it didn't work. :\

Oh... I didn't try double clicking it, just right/left click. Thanks.

Muse glad you got it working m8,still no go for my Avast security thread(tried it on both IE8 and Firefox),building a PC from scratch is 1000 x easier then getting this to work,oh well somethings are not meant to be :hmm: .


oldsmoboat thx for your help anyway,if I get it working I'll let you know.

The double click to right of the thread title works for my very recent threads but not my old Avast thread in Security,so I'm guessing some forum changes were made after I made the Avast one,anyway at least I know it works for my new threads and future ones.

Do you need the WYSIWIG editor turned on to do the double click thing as I don't have that turned on (I have the middle one whatever that one was turned on) and I cannot edit a thread in Hot Deals..

It shows in OP but not in the thread view of the Hot Deals forum. :\

I cannot get it to work on an old thread (above) either. I tried the WYSIWIG editor but no luck.
