[Forum] Edit Thread Title

[gajinoz]

Maybe I've missed something obvious here but can a registered user edit his own thread title? He can edit the content of his own posts OK but it's the title of a thread he has created that I'd like him to be able to edit.

Is it possible?
If so, how do I configure it?

Thanks.

OK, good, I see that but I just created a thread, posted it and then clicked on Edit. It lets me edit the content of the new thread but not the title. What have I missed?

Do you have a default style? Have any of your templates been modified?

Absolutely default, no mods of anything, very new installation. I notice that I can't edit the title of the thread I created for this problem on here. Should I be able to?

Here they don't allow thread title editing.

What value do you have set in this:

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Time Limit on Editing of Thread Title

If they don't allow it, where is it turned on/off?

The time setting is 10 minutes.

I think they set it to 0 minutes.

So you create a new thread and and click the edit button and you don't see the title just above the message edit window?

Oh bugger, I just realised what the problem is. You can only change the title if you edit the post in the advanced editor.

Thanks for your help.

Or, click the 'Administrative' link in the thread's header, and click 'Edit Thread'.

Or, doubleclick the area next to the thread title on the forum listing.

Yeah, I can do things as admin but I wanted to make sure it could be editied as a normal registered user. All good now.
