    Editing Thread Title

    I tried editing the thread title of one of my topics and couldn't.
    I added new info so I wanted to do so.

    I've searched the faqs and could not find anything.
    Is there a way to do so?

    Thanks

    Zell, go to Edit Post on the first post in the thread.

    One of the options should be 'Go Advanced' click it

    Among the options are 'Title', which you can then change to giving the topic thread whatever new name you want.

    Also try double clicking on the name of the thread from the Section of the forums it is in.
    Hope that helped.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Thnks for the help masamuneehs, but I don't see a "Go Advanced" option on the Edit page, I've only seen it while posting a new message.

    There is a Title to change on the edit post, but it only changes the titles of the very same post, not all the thread =/

    This is the thread I wanted to change the title to:

    I think it might have to do with some of your Options.
    Go to your Control Panel and enable the most complex editting/posting system you can. It may be daunting at first, but it gives you alot more options and hopefully will answer your problem.

    This is the title masa's talking about ... it's not the thread title, though.

    Umm, pretty sure that's a moderator-level task under "thread tools".

    Individual posts have subjects which are accessible from the full reply console and post editing, but they don't influence the thread name.

    So yeah, long story short, ask a mod/admin to do it.

    ouch, sorry, i double checked and the thing I was talking about was changing the title to the post...

    guess that's another annoying thread. "Change my name!" and now "Change my Thread name!" oh well, guess we'll just have to be careful when initially naming threads.
