I am unable to modify a thread title from a post that was created on the old forum software. This is important in the Under Construction forum to indicate when you have updated your post with new pictures and information.
Unable to modify thread title
- Thread starter liquix
- Start date
Did you go into the advanced editor for the first post?
That is how Moderators can do it, just not sure about regular members.

Yes, however it only edits the title of the first post once you clicked the thread, it does not edit the title of the thread as it appears in the list of the threads in the sub forum.
Oh I see what you are talking about with this thread:
http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/67689-New-Pool-Build-Orlando-FL-(Updated-11-4-13)
I am not sure what can be done. Looks like the title is now part of the URL to the thread. In the old software, when you changed the title of the first post, it would also change the thread URL ... maybe that is not true here?
Likely need an admin to look at this.

I just change the title in a thread in the test track that was imported from the old system and the URL and title shown in the list were changed, so I am not sure why this is not working for you.
I am going to go in and see what happens if I change it for you.

Well I went in to edit the first post and it showed your updated title already in that post, so I just saved and it still did not update the thread title.
Note to Admin: I do see if I go to "Administrative" and "Edit Thread" that the old thread title is still listed there. I am guessing if I were to change it there, it would update the thread title, but will not until you have a chance to look. Not sure if this is just a new permission thing where regular members can not update the thread title, or if this has something to do with the thread starting on the old system.

Regular users now can't change a thread title after seven days, while mods can. We can reconsider this setting if we need to.
Ah, well that would explain why I seemed to do everything just like the old software.
I will go update this thread title for you liquix.

Thanks for this post. I needed to edit an Review/recommendation on the SMART KLEEN NC22 pool cleaner. Change to Not Recommended. 
Regular members now have 180 days to edit their own thread titles. Press the "Go Advanced" button when editing the first post to access this feature.
Ask one of usIf we need a moderator to edit a title past 180 days, what is the process
Or even just posting the request in your thread would work as one of us would likely see it.
Ok, I asked in my insane thread from last year - Unexplained FC loss - IT IS BACK AGAIN :-(
