    Changing Title On Edited Post

    I really like this new format - actually encouraged me to contribute a little more.

    Is there a way to edit the posted title? This is especially helpful in classifieds if you sell and item you can put sold in the title. I visit another forum that uses the same software and it allows title changes.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I've tried it here too Mike but couldn't get it to work. I think it is an optional feature that Sam has not turned on for us.

      Click <Edit> once, and when it comes back, click, <Edit> a second time - lets you get to the title.

        Do as Rod said, or click on the "Go Advanced" button after clicking edit the first time.

          It will let you change the title but it doesn't show up in a listing of the threads. The original Title is stil there.

            I do suspect it will be tagged when you do a search on article title, though. I haven't tried it to verify it but it will help others in searching.

              That's what my post was about - original title sticks, but, this isn't the same at other forums using the same post engine.
